Guess what, we're one week closer to the end of our 3rd nine weeks. Can you believe that we're almost at the end of our 3rd grade 2021-2022 school year?!!! I definitely can't. I want you to go back and look at the work and writing your child did at the beginning of the year compared to now. They have really grown and we will continue to grow the last 12-13 weeks we have left. They're rocking it!!
We are working on fractions and measurement in math. We're slowly migrating into Chapter 11. We will have a quiz on Tuesday, the 8th, on fractions greater than 1 on the number line (improper and mixed fractions), converting them, using pictorial models to represent them, and measuring to the nearest inch, quarter of an inch, and half inch using line plots. They should have papers that shows examples of these in their math notebook. Also, it's very important that they are practicing their math vocabulary. I use it all the time in math class and a few of them are still struggling. They are going to struggle if they don't know the vocabulary. Please practice it with them. Another thing, we work on daily is our Math 4 Today. I am reiterating this from a previous blog, I have started counted the assessments for the Math 4 Today as graded quizzes as well. These are supposed to be glued into the back of their notebooks. We are on week 23 and going to test on that one (Math 4 Today) on Thursday, the 10th.
In reading, we are continuing James and the Giant Peach. We are going into Chapters 10-12 on this Monday, they will take a quiz on it Wednesday, the 9th. I will be covering characters, character traits, figurative language, and problem/solution (all with text evidence) this week through this novel. They also have vocabulary words and prefixes/suffixes/homographs they need to be practicing. I will give them a quick check on those words on Friday, the 11th. These words are also in their notebook. By the end of this week, we will have finished Chapter 18 by Friday.
In language arts/writing, we will continue to work on capitalization errors, adjectives, apostrophes, letter writing, and singular/plural nouns. This goes along with our Reading 4 Today. We will take a quiz on this on Tuesday, March 15th. In writing, we have worked on writing introductions and will continue into the body of an essay this week.
In science, we will be wrapping up soil this week and moving into social studies. They will take an open note quiz on soil on Monday, the 14th. The social studies I had completed before was tied into our black history activities. We actually created a mini book on the African-Americans we studied, including Gabbie Goodwin.
We are going to have a great week this week and I look forward to seeing everyone in class tomorrow. WE GOT THIS!!!!
