Room 8 News
Mrs. Fitzgerald, 3rd Grade
January 8, 2016
We had a fantastic week back! In reading we focused on making generalizations and summarizing a text. We also learned about biographies and autobiographies. In grammar we learned about irregular verbs, such as swim-swam and do-did. We began our next writing project: persuasive paragraph. We will begin prewriting our paragraphs next week.
In math we learned how to draw and write number sentences for division story problems. We learned how to identify congruent and similar shapes. We also learned how to identify units of mass and find the mass of an object, using a scale.
In social studies we learned about the French explorers Cartier and Champlain. We discussed where they settled and the effect their arrival had on the area.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Fitzgerald
