This Week in Third Grade 3/10

I cannot believe that spring break is almost here, and that this Friday is the end of third quarter! We have a lot of fun activities going on as we wrap up the end of the quarter. Here's a look at what we are doing this week in third grade:

Reading: We will be focusing on summarizing this week. We have talked about determining importance a lot, so we will move on to thinking about what makes a good summary.

Writing: We are finishing up our opinion speeches this week. Students are also going to make a Google Presentation to go along with their speech that they will be giving. I hope to have the students ready to present the Tuesday or Wednesday after spring break.

Math: We are finishing up our unit on collecting and representing data. Students have the opportunity to walk around the classroom and collect data, and then make their own graphs. We will test over this unit the Wednesday after spring break.

Science: We are continuing our unit on space. Specifically, we are focusing on our solar system. We will learn about how scientists classify planets, and about the different characteristics that make up the planets in our solar system.

Social Studies: This week we are going to wrap up our economics unit projects. We are going to create mini advertisements to hang on our desks, and appreciate the advertisements made by our fellow third grade peers. Economics Day is on Friday. Students must have all 25 of their products at school on by Thursday morning. 


Other: 
Friday is a half day! Please make sure that you student knows how they will be getting home after school!

Economics Day is Friday. Please make sure that your student has their product in school by Thursday!
