News from Mrs. Idehenre's 3rd Grade Class
The Honeycomb
May 4, 2015
This week we are writing our own fairy tales. Be on the look out for some great stories from the imagination of your child.
In reading, we are continuing to use evidence from the text to infer and make our own conclusions.
In math, we are completing area and will take the assessment. Our next focus is breaking shapes apart to find the area.
Math Vocabulary:
Area - the surface of a plane shape (the inside space when filled with squared units). It is found by using the formula length x width or L x W. It is reported in square units. Click here.
Perimeter - the boundary of a closed geometric shape (the outside measurement, like the perimeter of fence or wall). Generally, you would add up all the sides of a shape to find the perimeter. Click here.
In science, we will assess plant adaptations and move onto plant and animal life cycles.
In social studies, we are learning how the previous events led to the Secession Convention and the start of the Civil War. We will assess this on Wednesday.
