Math

FRACTIONS ARE HERE! This is our favorite thing to teach! We are so excited to introduce everyone to Crazy Bizarro Fraction World: where numbers are smaller than 1! Where the bigger the number (denominator), the smaller the piece! It’s a bizarre, mixed up world full of interesting numbers, and we’re so here for it. #mathteacher

Next week we will learn all about what fractions represent (equal pieces/parts), the numerator (top number), and the denominator (bottom number). We will also learn how to recognize and represent fractions. The 2nd grade skill stopped at representing fractions with words (one fourth vs. ¼), and this year, your 3rd grade mathematicians will stop at  equivalent fractions! Can you even? They’re so smart! So buckle up, buttercup, because it’s a wild ride through Crazy Bizarro Fraction World!


Science 

In Science we will begin our planet research.  The learners will be digging in and learning a little more about each individual planet.  We will discuss the similarities and differences of each planet and what separates the inner from the outer planets.

Reading/Writing 

In reading we will wrap up our character traits unit by overviewing theme and comparing themes across stories. We will take our character traits post assessment. In writing, we will wrap up our persuasive writing unit by publishing our essays and sharing them with the class.

Social Studies 

In social studies, we will move into learning about different entrepreneurs and how businesses and the free-enterprise system work.
