Welcome to Mrs. Abuyo's 3rd Grade Class!

Phonics Study

This year my district adopted the "Treasures" Reading Program by McGraw-Hill. I love this program. The list below is the list in the series. Each unit has 5 stories and the 6 week is review. To make certain that everything was aligned, I created a 6th Review Week. The actual spelling lists can be accessed by clicking here. This will take you to the students' spelling page.

Each week for homework the students take a practice test and one of the teacher selected activities listed below. I have saved these as PDF files for easy access. Most can be used for any unit or with any lists. To see which activity I use when please click here. Some of these are originals, others have been redesigned from either Mrs. Gold's or Mrs. Newingham's Websites.
