What we are learning

Math - Graph it up up up, graph it up up up, graph it up up up - we’re on FIRE! The kiddos will be learning about different types of graphs - bar, picto-, and dot, as in dot plots. (All the cool club knows that dots - or Xs - mean people.) See below for an example of a dot plot:

             

The Merry Merry Multiplication and Division review will also be worked on at school and will be sent home next Friday.

Check out the function machine fun from this week! Thank you for all the donations!

Science - Science comes in so many forms! This week, we will be exploring computer science as part of the Hour of Code movement!

ELAR - 

As our countdown to winter holidays continues, we will keep working on understanding the characters and events of a story.  Using the RACE strategy to craft short responses is just one way we reflect on our Wild Robot read aloud. This develops both their reading and writing skills!

Social Studies - To celebrate the Hour of Code, a global movement to expose learners to computer science and coding, we will be introducing our geography unit with a fun mapping project in Scratch Jr!   They will code their “sprite” to navigate a map using directional vocabulary. Learn more about the Hour of Code here!

What we are learning

Math - The week is here and they are excited! After fielding approximately 1 kabillion questions about what the milk cartons and cereal boxes are for, the week of Function Machines has arrived! Our Function Machine Showcase is on Friday, at which time they will work with each other’s completed machines to try to figure out what happened when the numbers were inputted! Function Machines help us learn about Input/Output tables, which is another way to analyze data. See below for the examples of the different types of Input/Output tables. The one that’s trickiest for 3rd graders is #2, so that is what we’ll focus on during our Friday Showcase. 

THANK YOU for sending in the boxes and cartons! 

We’ll keep taking them to reserve our stores for next year.

Science -

We will continue taking a closer look at weathering, erosion and deposition.  We will also continue to look at Natural Resources so that we can show how important it is to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle to preserve them! 

ELAR - 

We will continue our character studies unit this week, making connections between characters and events within the story.  We will practice mapping a story while continuing our class reading of the Wild Robot. We will also explore the OREO strategy as they work on drafting, editing and revising a fully workshopped persuasive writing piece.

Social Studies - In Social Studies, we will be circling back to several concepts from our government unit to help our learners distinguish between types of government and their branches.

What we are learning

Math - The end of our deep dive into multiplication and division is upon us! The post test for this unit will be on Thursday, November 30, and will include 2 by 1 digit multiplication, multiplication and division word problems, identifying whether a number is even or odd, and finding the answers  to a division equation (quotient) and multiplication equations (product). That’s a wrap, folks!

Science - We will continue taking a closer look at weathering, erosion and deposition.  It’s a slooooooowwww process guys…literally!  We will also look at Natural Resources and how important it is to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle to preserve them!

ELAR - In reading we will define secondary characters in stories and identify their role in the story. This will help us to explain the plot and make deeper connections to the main character and their goal in the story.  

For our writing focus, we shift to persuasive writing, and just in time for the holiday season. Don’t be surprised if your child has a very convincing Christmas list!

Social Studies - We will finish up our government unit and begin to transition to a study of Geography and maps!
