MAP testing is over! We survived, and we are moving to bigger and better things! I am looking forward to a fun and exciting (and normal) week of school! Here's a look at what's happening this week in third grade:
Reading: We are finishing our poetry unit and moving along to focus on fairy tales. Specifically, students will be able to look into multiple versions of Fairy Tales and discuss their similarities and differences. We will also talk about what characteristics a text must have in order to fit in the fairy tale genre.
Writing: Going along with our reading, students will have the opportunity to adapt a classic fairy tale to create their own version.
Math: We are picking up where we left off learning about fractions. This week we will review equivalent fractions, comparing fractions, and talk about mixed numbers.
Science: We will begin learning about matter this week! Students will have the opportunity to look at the different stages of matter and define the properties that go along with each stage.
Social Studies: We will begin this week learning a little history of Saint Louis! Students will create presentations about a specific location within the St. Louis area and present early next week!
