Reading Workshop: We'll continue with mysteries. We have begun collecting clues, generating lists of suspects, and have looked at how sidekicks assist the detectives. This week we'll explore what a hunch is and how important it is to go back and reread earlier parts of the mystery as more clues unfold.
Writing Workshop: We'll begin diving into informational writing. We'll look at published non-fiction authors and how they entice a reader to read about their topic. We'll identify how we'll entice our own readers about our topics.
Math: This week we begin exploring division concepts. Please continue to work on multiplication facts. You will see both division and multiplications concepts coming home for homework. We will take a multiplication chapter test on Friday as well as our math fact quiz.
Science: Our next unit is the Solar System. This week we'll begin developing questions we have about this amazing topic.
Social Studies: We'll begin discussing civil rights and look at influential people who helped bring about change in our own country, specifically Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. We'll understand what was going on in our country and how people brought about change.
We are also looking at modern day Egypt to compare/contrast Egypt today to ancient Egypt.
Thank you to all of you for making our third grade event last week a success! I hope you found the event meaningful and enjoyed the time with your third grader.
