Reading/Language Arts

This week third grade students took the Unit 3 Benchmark Assessment. Please look for the results in next week's take home folder.

The class is also working on writing Valentine's Day poetry. Students read several examples and brainstormed words that they could use, then they created their own poems.

Science

Students are learning about what happens to organisms when the environment changes. Changes might include floods, fires, drought, etc. Students also learned about how humans can change an environment.

Math

Students in third grade continue to work on reading and interpreting graphs. The third graders have also made picture graphs and bar graphs. The students will be conducting a school wide survey to gather data and make a bar graph.

Reading Incentive Program

January reading calendars are due back to school by Friday, February 3rd.  A February calendar has been included in the take home folder.
