Dear families,
We had a very successful week in third grade! I am so proud of each of my students who tried their best Wednesday and Thursday and really showed what great readers they are becoming. We had some fun with Math review, and even got to do a Science experiment to show properties of matter and physical change.
Next week in Reading we will be learning about drawing conclusions when we read fiction and poetry. Poetry is particularly good for drawing conclusions: Jack Prelutsky is one of my favorite children’s poets and his website has lots of fun and funny poetry activities. In writing we will review contractions and practice narrative writing. In Math we will be reviewing as we prepare for our semester benchmark test on Thursday and Friday, February 7/8 (I apologize for the wrong day names, but the dates were correct : ). Here are two resources to support your child at home with most confused concepts: perimeter and area and measurement units for volume and length. In Science we will complete our unit of student on matter. The students will have their study guides on Monday to help them prepare for a paper-pencil quiz. I will announce that date next week.
