Welcome Back!
Here's What We've Been Up To in 3rd Grade:
Reading: We are learning about the features of Trickster Tales. We will begin a fun writing project with these tales next week.
Word Study: This week we worked with inflectional endings and we learned when to double the last consonant, when to drop the e, and when there was no change to a word. Next week we will begin our practice with long a patterns with accented syllables. Please remember to practice the words sent home on Monday! Examples of words include: crayon, display, rainbow, complaint, bracelet, awake, label, potato.
Math: Let the measuring begin! This week we have been working on measuring to the nearest 1/4 inch. We have used our data to create line plots and answer questions. In the upcoming weeks we will begin working on finding the area and perimeter of various shapes.
Science: In our Animals Through Time unit this week we discussed why some animals work and live together in a group. Next week we will learn about habitat change, the environment, and traits.
Social Studies: We are wrapping up Unit 3. It is titled Explorers From Far Away. We will be testing on this unit by the end of next week. Please practice the Kahoot on itslearning and look for the study guide to come home no later than Tuesday.
Writing: We are just beginning to brainstorm ideas for our informational writing. We will be writing about something that we know a lot about (soccer, a pet, being a good sibling, gymnastics, etc.....)
