November 27th - December 1st

Thank you for taking the time to read our third grade blog. Make sure you are checking it weekly for calendar updates, what we are learning, and a glimpse at our week in pictures!

What are we learning?

Math
In math, learners will continue working on fluently recalling multiplication facts 0 to 12. Learners will be making connections between their math facts and concrete representations of facts  to model and solve contextual multiplication situations. Please make sure that your child is continuing to practice their multiplication facts.

Homefun: Reflex Math TWO times a week for FIFTEEN minutes

Language Arts
In reading, learners will explore the elements of Drama. They will begin by understanding the vocabulary, and then moving into a reader's theater unit. In writing, learners will begin an expository writing on the historical American that they have been researching in Social Studies. They will also take a spelling pretest and get their new lists. The next spelling test will be Friday, December 8th.

Homefun: RazKids TWO times a week for FIFTEEN minutes and practice spelling words. 

Science
In science, learners will research natural disaster (rapid changes in the Earth's surface such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, landslides, floods) and design a survival guide (on a poster or as a presentation) that explains what is happening and the best way to to survive it. Major focus will be on studying soils!
