We had an exciting week of learning in third grade! In Math, we reviewed place value and practiced our skills to get ready for our quiz on Tuesday. In ELA, students stretched their imaginations as they worked on their constellation stories - creating story plans and brainstorming clever solutions to the problems their characters face. The big highlight of the week was in Science, where our flower lab let us see pollination and reproduction in action!
This week in ELA, our fourth graders continued their adventure with Holes by Louis Sachar and began drafting their Compare & Contrast essays. They also enjoyed a visit to the TCS library, where they selected books that matched their personal interests.
In Math, we launched our addition unit, practicing strategies for adding large numbers. For Fun Friday, students put their place value skills to the test by solving a detective mystery: Who stole our math supplies?!
In Social Studies, we explored maps by practicing how to use latitude and longitude.
In Science, we continued our study of life science, building on our understanding of living things and their characteristics.
This week, we also focused on learning how to talk to our friends kindly—and how to extend that same grace to ourselves when we make mistakes.
ATTENTION: 3RD GRADE FAMILIES -
EMERGENCY FOOD STILL NEEDED
We still have not received several bags of emergency food, and we need it as soon as possible. Please be sure to send in your child's emergency food right away so we can have them on hand in case of an emergency.
WEEKLY LEARNING SNAPSHOT
While TCS doesn't assign homework, many parents have requested at-home resources to support skill-building. We're happy to provide materials to help your child practice!
