Math

Students continue to practice the process of division. The students have worked on the divisors of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.  Please practice the division facts at home.

Reading/Language Arts

This week third grade read "The Kamishibai Man by Allen Say. In this realistic fiction selection, When an old man misses his work, he decides to bicycle into town and set up his cart again. Despite the daunting urbanization in his old location, he happily parks his cart, calling the children to buy sweets and to hear his traditional Japanese storytelling. The comprehension skill focused on cause and effect. Students worked on the vowel diphthongs ow and ou.  The vocabulary skill covered using a dictionary. Students worked with abstract nouns as the grammar skill.
