T-Shirts
If you have not yet ordered your 3rd grade spirit shirt, you can do so my using this link here:
We will wear these shirts for Field Trips and Field Day.
Water Bottles
Please make sure your child packs a water in his or her backpack! The office only has little cups for them to fill up if your child needs water during the day.
Breakfast
If your child would like to eat breakfast at school please make sure they are here as close to 7:20 as possible. They will eat in the cafeteria and then head down to class. We begin our lessons at 8:00 and don't want them to miss out on any learning.
Math
Comparing and ordering numbers is next on our list, and our job as math judges will be important. We will accept the challenge and use our place value knowledge to determine the greatest and least numbers - but don’t worry. We won’t be hurting any numbers’ feelings; of course we’ll only determine a number is greater or less based on the amount it represents, not its outward appearance. Which number is greater? Which number is less? Put these numbers in order! Are these numbers in order? Yes! No! It’s a big job, but your 3rd grade mathematicians can handle it!
Science
We will begin our unit on Properties of Matter. We will begin with exploring density with a Sink or Float experiment. We will also work on determining the length of objects using both customary and metric measurements.
Reading/Writing
Next week we will begin thinking about our reading. We will talk about how to give ourselves comprehension checks, and will introduce making predictions. On Thursday 9/9, we will be taking our 3rd grade reading MAP test!
Social Studies
We will continue our discussion about why people form communities. We will look at the evolution of transportation, religious freedom, and recreation (places we go to for fun!). On Friday, we will have a lesson that recognizes 9/11 and the heroes of that day.
