I hope you all had a wonderful holiday!! With the new year comes many new adventures in third grade! Below is a run down of what to expect this week:
Reading Workshop: We will finish looking at non-fiction text structures. So far we have covered, description, sequence, and cause and effect. This week we'll delve into problem and solution and compare and contrast.
Writing Workshop: Our non-fiction writing unit is underway! We will look at the different structures of non-fiction to help us decided which structure we will decide to use for our own writing.
Math: We have finished being exposed to factors of 0 - 10 in multiplication. It is now time we work on memorizing these facts. A letter came home today explaining how we will begin math fact quizzes beginning this Friday. Please keep this letter as it will help guide which facts to work on for each given week.
This week, we begin "double math sessions." This means we will work on two different math concepts per week. This week we will complete multiplication strategies and begin the concept of perimeter.
Science: Our portable planetarium called StarLab is here!!! This is a program that all third graders participate in. For the next three weeks we will be learning about how to locate the winter constellations in the night sky, understand the reason for seasons, and learn all about the Big and Little Dippers. We will go into StarLab each Thursday for the next three Thursdays.
