I'm sure the many of the kiddos are anxious for Halloween this week and for the 3rd grade choir performance. I hope you are able to join us Tuesday night for the wonderful program the music teachers have put together.
Here's a glimpse of our learning for the upcoming week. Writing: Due to practicing for the choir performance on Monday and Tuesday, we will only have a few writing lessons this week. We have some thank you letters to write, so we'll learn how to write a friendly letter with the correct parts of a letter. Also, we'll write a response to a conservation video. Reading: Our focus this week will be on nonfiction/expository. We'll explore text features and determine the purpose of each feature. I'll model how to use text features to predict what the text will be about and rev up your mind to read. Students will locate various text features and state how they help them as a reader. On Friday, we have an author visit. That should be a lot of fun! Math: We are wrapping up our multiplication unit with some problem solving and review before taking the test on Tuesday. Wednesday, we'll solve fall related problems to earn parts for a game. After the kiddos solve the problems, they will work with a group to figure out some clues leading to a rubber skeleton. Their group will exchange the skeleton for skeleton bone cookies. They will put the skeleton together and have a sweet treat! This should be exciting! Science: Finally, we are going to build our solar ovens and cook s'mores using heat energy generated from their oven. This is always a favorite! Then, we'll take the unit test on forms of energy on Thursday. Friday we'll meet with our kinder buddies for eslot so we won't have time to start a new unit.
