Curriculum Highlights:
Reading: We worked on writing book reviews this week and then recording our review on imovie. These will be placed with a QR code which the kids will be able to view next week! I will have the reviews hanging on lockers as well for you to enjoy during conferences.
Writing: We wrote our leads and endings for our personal narratives this week. We also began editing our work for capitalization and punctuation. Much of this work involved discussion and practice on what makes a complete sentence.
Bible: This week we completed the story of creation and talked about the importance of the seventh day when God rested. We see how he has set an example for us of the importance in taking a day of rest in our Savior. We played "Creation Jeopardy" to review this unit (which the class just loved!) and then dove into our next unit dealing with the fall. Our Bible memory is a review of Psalm 23.
Math: Your child brought his/her math test home this week. I was very pleased with how well the class did. You will notice that students do receive letter grades in Math in 3rd grade. We have moved on to our next unit where we learned how to multiply and divide by 6's and 8's this week. We also did many story problems dealing with finding area when given the length and width.
Science: Each child was assigned a topic this week on earth changes. The class spent much of the week researching their topic and taking notes on what they learned. We then spent several days placing all of this information into complete sentences (tying this into Writing!) and making a keynote presentation. This has been a HUGE deal and everyone has risen to the challenge! We will present our projects next week.
Blessings!
