This week in third grade we will be studying a magazine article in our textbook called Wild Shots, They're My Life about a wildlife photographer. Students will learn vocabulary that goes along with this story, how to use headings to find information quickly, and some common latin suffixes.
In social studies we will continue to study economics. Students formed teams to create an idea for a good/service they think would benefit our community. They have listed what tools they think they would need to make it a success, and are now planning their "grand opening". After analyzing advertisements last week, each team will use what they learned to create an ad for their business.
For math we are investigating fractions in sets, shapes, and their relationships using fraction rods.
We have the opportunity to have several guest speakers in our class this week- we had Ms. Furniss our school SSA in today to teach an anti-bullying lesson, we will have a canal safety lesson Tuesday, a visit from our art mom Wednesday, and a workshop with Jr. Achievement on Friday!.
I have reassessed students for word study groups, and am pleased with their progress! Many students have changed groups, so you will be seeing some different word study patterns on their lists. ***Word study homework this week is their word study contract activities. Each student should have brought home their words in a plastic baggie, their spelling journal, and the word study contract. Homework will be due as usual this Friday.
A book order will be coming home Tuesday from Scholastic. Please feel free to make use of the easy online ordering using our class activation code in the letter that comes with the catalog.
