Science: We'll continue to learn measure and collect data about weather. Last week we made wind socks that need a few last minute additions, so we'll try those out this week. Also, we'll make anemometers, conduct a virtual investigation, graph weather conditions, and create a model of the water cycle, (if time).
Reading: Our focus will be on legends and myths this week as we continue to read traditional literature. We'll read and discuss a Native American legend and act out a mythical play about a raven. The kiddos seem to always love drama! Writing: We are off to a great start with our fiction stories! Most of our planning is complete, so this week we will be working hard on our drafts. We'll learn about effective leads and satisfying endings as well as how to include details about the main character. Math: This week we will continue to learn strategies to solve the remaining multiplication facts including sixes, threes, and sevens. Students will use number sentences, strip diagrams, arrays, area models, and pictorial models to represent problems involving multiplication and division. Social Studies: More economics! We are learning about advertisements. planned & unplanned spending, and paying with credit vs. cash. Upcoming Events February 14: 3rd Grade Valentine's Day party @ 1:30 March 6: Economics Fair
