November 13th - 17th

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 the concrete representations of facts in second grade to memorizing and fluently recalling multiplication facts. Please see note in last weeks blog regarding memorizing/practicing multiplication facts at home.

Homefun: Reflex Math TWO times a week for FIFTEEN minutes

Language Arts
In reading, learners will finish up the figurative language and elements o poetry unit in preparation for the Poetry Slam. This week they will be exploring free verse poetry, and will also read and respond to a few poems. In writing, learners will write about things that they are thankful for to show gratitude. Learners will get new spelling words after Thanksgiving break.

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

Science
In science, learners will begin to investigate earthquakes and volcanoes, including how they change the Earth's surface, how they are caused, and how tsunamis are related.
