It is hard to believe that March is already halfway gone--and only two more weeks until spring break! I hope everyone had a great time at Taste of the Park on Friday!
A few reminders: *Our field trip is THIS Friday (23rd) to the Fernbank Museum. If your child is bringing a lunch for this trip, please make sure it is in a disposable pack! *3rd Quarter Report Cards go home on Wednesday! *Milestones Testing will start on Tuesday, April 10th- attendance is very important during this testing period! Check out the DOE's resources to learn more about the Milestones Assessment: Parent Resource/Study Guide Look at what we are learning this week: Math: We had a great "time" with our telling time to the nearest minute lessons last week. Students did a good job of naming the different parts of a clock, reviewing telling time from second grade, and being more specific with taking that knowledge to find the nearest minute. This week we will be learning how to solve problems involving elapsed time. This is something that is quick and easy to review with your students at home each afternoon too! Reading: This week in reading we will be looking at informational texts to find the main idea and key details within them. Students will be diving into a new class set of books-One Well-now that we have finished our Peter Pan story together. Writing: Students will be responding to informational writing prompts this week using information given in different passages. We will be looking at different ways to brainstorm for ideas, and creating graphic organizers to help with the structure of our writing. Science: We have just finished our adaptations unit by designing some very creative animal species with special characteristics to help them live in certain habitats. Check out buildyourwildself.com for an example of the kind of creatures we made! Grammar: We will be investigating independent and dependent clauses this week to help us with the three types of sentence structure next week!

I cannot believe how fast February flew by! After a nice winter break, we were able to get a lot of learning done last week and are going in strong into our first full week of March.
A few reminders: *Wednesday night is the Variety Show at Sedalia Park. Come see our amazing acts! *Math Night at Publix (5:30) and Chick-Fil-A Spirit Night (5:00) is this Thursday--We'd love to see you there! *Friday is our class's picture day! :) Look at what we are learning this week: Math: Students will be measuring objects to the nearest half- and fourth- of an inch. We will be collecting this data and using it to construct line plots. Students will also be reviewing our addition strategies as Milestones Testing approaches. Reading: We will be reading our last chapter of Peter Pan this week, and I think I can collectively say that we are a little excited for the ending, but also a little upset to be saying goodbye to our class's first chapter book. Students will be reading texts this week to determine the author's point of view-and how it is similar or different to their own. Writing: Students have been working on different types of writing and responding to writing prompts last week and will be continuing to work on it this week. The class has had discussions about our third grade writing rubrics, as well as giving feedback on examples of student writing pieces. Science: We have started our unit on the Geographic Regions of Georgia. Students have been reading about the five different regions and the animals, plants, and habitats within the regions. Grammar: We are spending the week reviewing our past grammar topics: adjectives, adverbs, conjunctions, etc. |
