Here's a look at the upcoming week. We have a few special activities this week including a presentation for International Week, an assembly Friday afternoon, and the Book Fair. Writing: We are wrapping up our poetry unit this week. We'll learn more about figurative language and poetic devices and try them out as we write a few more poems. Then, students will choose one or two of their best poems to revise and publish. Next, we'll dive into expository writing. Reading: Just like in writing, we'll wrap up our poetry unit after reading a few more poems. Then, we'll learn about nonfiction text features as we begin exploring expository texts. Math: We'll continue working on multiplications. Students will use arrays, equal groups, number lines, tables, strip diagrams, and number sentences to represent multiplication as well as solve problems. Our focus this week will be on fours and eights facts as we continue to explore doubling, halving, and the relationship between facts. Science: I am keeping my fingers crossed that we will have a sunny, warm day this week to complete our heat investigation using solar ovens. This week we will build our ovens, investigate mechanical energy through a mystery science video/activity, and cook s'mores on our solar ovens. We'll finish up our energy unit with our district assessment on Thursday or Friday. Social Studies: Since this is International Week, we'll research our class country, China. Also, we have a presentation about Hong Kong from two of our parents on Tuesday. Upcoming Events Thursday, October 25: International Culture Fair 6:00-8:00 October 30Third Grade Choir Program 6:30
