Math

Third grade has a couple more concepts to cover until the end of the year. We will work on telling time, measurement, perimeter and area and problem solving using two operations. Students will continue to review fractions as well as the basic facts.

Reading/Language Arts

Third graders continue reading Charlotte's Web. I hope the students are enjoying this book as much as I do. Students will continue to complete comprehension strategies that go along with the chapters. We are going to review parts of speech (nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs).

Next week third grade students will begin writing an informational paragraph using the planet research information. I will send you example to follow. I also plan on taking it slow and talking about each step.

Science

Third grade has spent the last few weeks learning about matter. Students have learned about the states of matter (solids, liquids, and gases). The class has studied the properties of matter and physical and chemical changes.

Next week third grade will begin learning about taking care of our bodies. We will learn about the integumentary system (skin, hair, and nails).

End of the Year

The last day of assignments for students will be on Friday, May 22nd. The next week will be used for getting caught up and everything turned in.

Parents, thank you so much for all you are doing at home. I greatly appreciate students completing and turning in work. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions on assignments.
