Math
This week students worked on estimating sums by using compatible number and rounding. Students had a "snowball fight" in September to help work on rounding to the nearest ten and hundred. Ask your child about the fun activity that we did in class. Students were also taught mental math strategies for addition.
Reading/Language Arts
This week third grade read a fantasy selection entitled "The Trial of Cardigan Jones" in which a moose is put on trial and falsely acused of taking an apple pie. Students worked on conclusions and infering for the comprehension strategy. The vocabulary strategy focused on using a dictionary. Students worked with long vowel words with the VCe pattern. The grammar skill identifed the four types of sentences (declarative, interrogative, imperative, and exclamatory).
In the take home folder this week are the Lesson 1 weekly assessment results. These are yours to keep. Please look over the results and let me know if you have any questions.
Science
Third grade continues to study about plants. The class has learned about simple plants. We have also learned about seeds.
