Hello 3rd Grade Families!
Here's a look at our learning this week:
In writing, we will write a first draft of our new opinion piece. The students have gathered some research and formed an opinion on a topic of their choice. We will work on putting all this research into well-organized paragraphs this week.
In reading, we are continuing our skill of comparing and contrasting texts. We will practice with two books by Chris Van Allsburg.
In social studies we will continue with our unit on explorers! We will be learning about Vasco Nunez de Balboa and Jacques Cartier this week.
In math, we will learn about measuring to the nearest quarter inch with a ruler. Click here for measurement games from our blog. We will then learn how to plot measurements on a line plot.
This Thursday, we will be exchanging valentines at school. You are welcome to send in a pre-made box to collect cards if you'd like. We will not be making boxes at school. If you choose to send in valentines, please send in enough for the whole class. There will be 23 students participating in our valentine exchange.
We are also having our multiplication ice cream party on Thursday afternoon. Thank you to those who have signed up to send in supplies! There are still a few empty slots to be filled if you're able. We could especially use a volunteer or two to scoop ice cream from 1:00-2:00 on February 14th. Here's the link to sign up: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f094cada82ea7f85-multiplication
We're looking forward to another great week in third grade!
