1/2 gallon cardboard milk or juice carton needed!!

We will be making Function Machines in math the week of December 13-17. Every student will make a Function Machine, so each student will need to bring 2 items: an empty, clean, ½ gallon cardboard milk or juice carton and a flexible piece of cardboard - think like that of a cereal box. Please start sending them in with your child (labeled with his or her name) the week after Thanksgiving. We may need extra, so we would appreciate anyone who is able to send in extra materials.

Headphones and Charged iPads

Now that we are in the swing of things we are using our iPads daily.  Please help remind your child to charge their iPad each night.  Also, we are using our headphones daily as well.  Many of the kiddos are in need of a set that they can keep at school. We have already been through quite a few sets of the earbuds. :)

November Lunch Menu

 

Math 

Yay! The post test for multiplication and division will be on Thursday, December 2. We will review our hearts out until then and are super pumped to show what we know! The post test will include representing multiplication and division, 2 by 1 digit multiplication using the standard algorithm, and multiplication and division word problems that are single step and multistep. Please keep in mind that we will be making function machines right before winter break. Each 3rd grader needs a clean, dry, empty, 1/2 gallon cardboard container (like a milk carton) and a flexible piece of cardboard (like a cereal box). The third graders can bring them in starting Monday, November 29.

Science 

We will continue exploring fast land changes.  We will look at what causes them and the result after.  Towards the end of the week the kids will begin working on a survival guide.  They will choose one fast land change to focus on.  In a few short weeks, we will know how to survive Tsunamis, Landslides, Earthquakes, and Volcanoes!  Woohoo!  Safety first!

Reading/Writing 

When we come back, we will kick off our new unit! We will be discussing the characteristics of legends, myths, fables, fairy tales, and folk tales. We will explore examples of each. In writing, we will be writing our own versions of popular fairy tales!

Social Studies 

In social studies, we will be finishing our maps and presenting them to the class. We will then overview different landforms and climates.
