Just a reminder that we will no longer be mailing report cards or other items left behind for those students who are not in attendance on the last day of school. Parents will need to contact the office and come in over the summer to secure their belongings.
Citizenship- We will have a refresher on how the students can problem solve.
Reading– This week, we will read a story
called Meanwhile Back at the Ranch written by Trinka Hakes Noble and
illustrated by Tony Ross. This is a hilarious book about Rancher Hicks, who
drives to the town of Sleepy Gulch, looking for a little excitement. Little
does he know that some amazing things are happening to his wife and ranch
during his absence! The strategy that we will work on this week is how setting
affects the feelings/mood of a story.
Writing - The students will practice prompt writing
this week. The students will write an opinion piece on a topic or
text supporting a point of view with reasons and information. They will provide
reasons that are supported by facts and details. This should be organized with
a concluding section that relates to the opinion presented. Students should
strive to write complete sentences, recognizing and correcting inappropriate
fragments and run-ons. We will also continue our natural disaster projects and
begin presentations of posters.
Grammar- We will focus on using complex
linking words and phrases (for instance, in order to, in addition). These are
words that are used to connect the opinion and reason in sentences and essays.
(This is different from the
traditional reference of referring to linking words as linking verbs.)
Spelling - This week we are on list #26. The pattern is words that
end in er, ful, ly, and able. Please help your child review this week
because some of the words may be more
difficult.The test is Friday, April 26th.
Social Studies–
We will begin a unit on Immigration and The
Great Migration. The students have an opportunity to learn about someone in
their family who has immigrated to the United States. The students will gain
knowledge of the reasons why people immigrated to the United States. They will
also find out about an important time in history called The Great Migration.
The students will learn how these events helped to form our country.They will
also learn about the significant individuals and events that were important in
the development of our country and communities.Math-
Third grade math –
We
will teach students how to calculate the volume of a cube.
The students
will measure and estimate liquid volumes and masses of objects using standard
units of grams (g), kilograms (kg), and liters (l). they will add, subtract,
multiply, or divide to solve one-step word problems involving masses or
volumes that are given in the same units, e.g., by using drawings (such as a
beaker with a measurement scale) to represent the problem.
|
The students
will also understand that shapes in different categories (e.g., rhombuses,
rectangles, and others) may share attributes (e.g., having four sides), and
that the shared attributes can define a larger category (e.g.,
quadrilaterals). The students will also recognize rhombuses, rectangles, and
squares as examples of quadrilaterals, and draw examples of quadrilaterals
that do not belong to any of these subcategories.

Accel.math –
We will work practice
ordering fractions and adding/subtracting fractions.
