Math
This is it folks, we are nearing the finish line in the race to make sure we’ve learned all the 3rd grade math before Math STAAR 2023 (May 2). We will be working on measurement and financial literacy this week, which obviously go hand in hand. Well, not really…knowing to choose gallons when measuring the amount of water in a swimming pool and about how supply and demand affects costs and profit don’t really go together at all, but here we are. #leftovermath
Your kids will learn about the Kingdom of Gallon (ask for a demo) and the units for measuring capacity. We will also review financial literacy concepts like income, labor, human capital, spending, saving, credit, and interest. It’s a big week, and your children are ready!
Science
This past week we started learning about adaptations and how they help animals survive and thrive in their environments. We will continue learning about adaptations this upcoming week. We will then look at some adaptations and see if they are physical or behavioral.
Reading/Writing
Our Reading STAAR test is on Wednesday! Thank you to those of you who have sent in your secret letters to your children. After our STAAR assessment, we will celebrate our hard work. Then we will dive into a children's literature unit (folktales, fairy tales, fables, myths, and legends) that incorporates both reading and writing.
