Welcome!
When Life hands you LEMMONS.... it's going to be a SWEET year!
We are off on our exciting adventure called Third Grade! Be sure to check out my webpage each week for updated information!
May13-17
Math
This week, we are continuing to power through our last module of 3rd grade! Module 7 is geometry and measurement word problems. Our focus this week will be lessons 9, 12, and 13, which includes composing and decomposing polygons using tangrams, measuring side lengths to find perimeter, and exploring perimeter as an attribute to solve problems. We are also taking FastBridge Math on Tuesday (5/14).
Need help with homework? Search "Eureka Math, third grade, module 7 lesson ___" on YouTube. Each day in class, we will be completing a portion (or all) of the problem set.
ELA
This week, we will continue our 4th quarter skills, focusing on literary texts! Our essential question of the quarter is "How do people inspire change in others?" We are going to spend the next few weeks doing an author study of Patricia Polacco- one of my favorites! :) Our focus standards are RL 3.3, RL 3.5, and RL 3.9. We also have FastBridge Reading on Wednesday (5/15).
Social Studies
This week, we will begin our final unit of the year- economics! We will be learning about why money is valuable and students will be introduced to some vocabulary: consumers, wages, producers, and exchange.
Writing
We are going to begin an inquiry-based research project! Students will brainstorm and determine their topic, along with guided questions to help with research. On Friday, your child will be coming home with a "permission" slip for parent approval of their topic, project, and materials to be brought from home.
SWI
Our base of the week is cre which means "bring forth/produce".
