Headphones/Earbuds

Many of the kiddos are still in need of a set of headphones/earbuds that they can keep at school. We have been through quite a few already. The kiddos have many times where they are watching a video or can listen to directions and/or books being read aloud to them.  Thank you so much for your help with this!

Math 

Area = length x width baby baby!! Next week, we will begin to learn about area: the space inside. Words that mean “find the area” involve things that COVER such as wrapping paper, carpet, wallpaper, and paint. (Remember, perimeter words involve things that GO AROUND.) What is new for 3rd graders concerning area is that they will not just count blocks to find the area of rectangles and squares, they will use the formula of length x width. We will review counting same-size blocks stacked tightly and without spaces inside rectangles and squares, but they will use the formula quite a bit. While we can find the perimeter of any shape, here in 3rd grade, we will only learn the formula for area for rectangles and squares - length x width.

Science 

Next week we will explore natural resources.  We will discuss that a natural resource is something that is found in nature and can be used by people. We will identify Earth’s natural resources…light, air, water, plants, animals, soil, stone, minerals, and fossil fuels.

Reading/Writing 

In reading, we are starting a new read aloud, Because of Winn Dixie.  We will be focusing on analyzing internal character traits by studying a character's thoughts, feelings, words and actions.  

In writing, we will begin learning how to write to persuade.

Social Studies 

In Social Studies, we will continue our economics study.  We will be adding to our important vocabulary words and comparing how education can influence career choices and hourly wages.
