A few odds and ends:
Book Orders: I will place another book order on Friday, April 22. If you are interested in ordering any books, click on the red scholastic tab on the side of this blog and you will be directed to my scholastic page. You are free to order from any grade level on this site.
Field trip: We will be going to the Outdoor Discovery Center on Wednesday, April 27. We will be out of the building from 9:00-2:30 that day. Please have your child bring a brown bag lunch with his/her name on it, good walking shoes, and appropriate dress for the weather.
Upcoming Dates:
- Reading minutes are due Monday
- Word Work test on Friday
- Math test REVIEW due Tuesday, April 19
- Math test on Wednesday, April 20
Here is what we have been up to in 3rd grade:
Math: We have been solving two step story problems this week. Reading carefully is important and these problems take time. We will finish this unit on Monday, review on Tuesday, and take our test on Wednesday.
Reading: We have begun Mystery book clubs. Each day your child meets with his/her book club and discusses their reading from the previous day. It is amazing to listen to their discussions and to watch them find evidence in their books to support their thoughts.
Writing: We have begun our Persuasive Essay unit. We examined several essays this week and looked for the big idea of the essay and then the evidence to support that big idea. By the end of the week the kids were getting really good at this!
Bible: We read about the tabernacle and talked about the importance of the Israelites having a place to worship God. We drew a diagram and learned about the furnishings that were placed in the tabernacle. We talked about how God is teaching the Israelites the importance of worshipping him. Acts 2:1-4 is our new Bible memory.
Science: We have begun a new unit called Light and Sound. This week we focused on light and did several fun experiments.
Blessings,
Lynae
