Math
To apply the skills that have been learned in our data and graphing unit, the third grade class will be conducting a school wide survey. The students will be collecting data, creating graphs, and then analyzing the information. 


Reading/Language Arts
This week the class read the play "Gigi and the Wishing Ring." This play was adapted from an Italian fairy tale. The reader follows Gigi as he leaves home for an adventure and making a fortune. Along his journey, he encounters an elderly woman who gives him the special wishing ring. With this ring, Gigi encounters many different situations. The comprehension skill focused on retelling, elements of dram a, and theme. The suffixes or -er and -or were discussed as the vocabulary skill. Students worked on making plural nouns. The decoding skill focused on the vowel diphthongs of -ow and -ou.

This will be the last story and lessons that will be covered before Christmas break. Next week the plan is to do Christmas activities.

Science
The third grade class continues to learn about organisms'adaptations.
