2015 - 2016 Third Grade Weekly News
Volcanoes and Earthquakes with the PROFESSIONAL!
We've got SPIRIT!
The class is progressing nicely through our curriculum. This week, we learned about our first third grade book report. After we learned the details, we visited the library several times to find the perfect biography to study. We have 20 different biographies being studied and I look forward to hearing their performances in a few weeks!
This past week, we really solidified the reason we need to explain our math answers every time. They are starting to see how important it is to double, or even triple check our work. Due to our steady movement forward, we will test on Unit two in the following week.
Next week:
- Math: We will finish reviewing our math concepts from Unit 2 and we will test on Wednesday.
- Reading: We will explore through books on earthquakes. Our goal this week will be to compare similar texts. We will take our first reading test this Friday!
- Writing: Personal Narratives! We will find small moments and practice showing our readers with our words.
- Grammar: We will continue to talk about subjects and predicates and we will extend that discussion while adding compound sentences.
Rocks and Minerals
On October 5th, we will visit the Indiana State Museum and we will tour their rock exhibits as a grand finale to our unit. Mark your calendars if you would like to join!
