Science

In third grade, the class continues to learn about force. Students have learned the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces. Students have also learned about friction and gravity.

Reading/Language Arts

The class is also working on personal narrative writing. I read aloud the story The Best Part of Me to the class last week. Students then chose 3 body parts, then wrote three reasons why he/she liked that specific body part. On Monday, students chose one of the body parts to write a rough draft. Students then worked with a peer on editing looking for uppercase letters at the beginning of each sentence and a period at the end of each sentence. On Tuesday, student began typing their personal narratives. I will be sharing the final copies with parents at conferences.
