I hope you all had a restful and fun track break! I am so excited to be starting our third trimester activities in third grade!
This week, students are reading the story Leah's Pony. We will study author's purpose, vocabulary, and comprehension as we read this historical fiction story. We will also begin our opinion writing unit where students learn to express their point of view on various topics.
For our social studies unit, we will be studying economics. It would be incredibly beneficial to talk with your child about spending and saving money. They are learning about goods and services, so please share your own experiences as well! We are also fortunate to have a volunteer from the Jr. Achievement program in our classroom to help us learn more about this unit. In our next science unit students will study the survival and adaptations of living things.
In math, students will be learning about fractions including what they are, how to add and subtract them, simplify them, generate equivalent fractions and compare and order them. In class we discuss real world examples of fractions, so if you would like to have your child help you cook or join in another activity that involves this concept that would be great!
