3rd Grade Newsletter
February 19, 2019
What are we going to learn about this week?
Reading/Writing: Folktales
We are continuing to explore different types of traditional literature such as fairy tales, folktales and myths.
This week we will cover fables.
Students will be able to:
- Analyze and draw conclusions about themes
- Listen to stories and read stories that reflect the different origins(different versions of Cinderella for example)
- Compare and contrast the settings and identify the author's purpose
- Explain how the character changes in the story
Please feel welcome to bring your favorite tall tale, folktale, etc. This is a very engaging unit and the students seem to enjoy it every year!
Social Studies: How My Government Works
Students will understand the basic structures and functions of the various levels of
government.
In Unit 6, students develop increasingly precise ways to describe, classify, and make generalizations about two-dimensional shapes, particularly quadrilaterals.
