Week 10
Class Notes:
It's hard to believe that we are already heading into week 10 of third grade!
This week we will...
Practice thinking more deeply about the texts we are reading, asking "why" questions about the plot, characters and about choices the author has made. We will also practice "retelling" important events in a story to increase our comprehension.
Celebrate our published writing from Bend 2 and move into Bend 3 where we will start a new seed idea and bring it through the writing process, using all that we now know about writing personal narrative stories
Start Fundations Unit 4: vowel-consonant-e exceptions, and adding vowel and consonant suffixes to v-e words. Here are the Fundations Home Support Materials for Unit 4
Begin Section B in Unit 2 in Math which focuses on calculating the area of a rectangle by multiplying the side lengths and solving problems involving the area of rectangles
Wrap our science unit with an exploration of fossils and how paleontologist learn from evidence about the past.
