Math

The third grade class will be having a test over chapter 2 "Interpreting and Analyzing Data" on Thursday, November 12th. A review sheet was sent home early this week. 

The next chapter will focus on multiplication.

Reading/Language Arts

This week the third class is reading the realistic fiction story "Kamaishibai Man" by Allen Say. The comprehension skill focused on cause and effect. Students identified concrete and abstract nouns as the grammar skill. The class worked on the vowel diphthongs (ow and ou) as the phonics skill.  The vocabulary skill covered dictionary skills.

Science

The class continues to study motion. Students have been learning how speed effects motion.

World Kindness Day

World Kindness Day is Friday, November 13th. Students are asked to wear a cardigan, sweater, or zip up jacket like Mr. Rogers. I plan on showing the students a video about Mr. Rogers.

Third grade students will also be creating and mailing a kindness card to someone in their lives. Please make sure your child has the mailing address of who they choose to send the card.
