Literacy: Students will work on an in-class project for the majority of the week. The project relates to our Character Study unit. It asks students to choose a final presentation format and then present how the dynamic character - in the book they have just read during literature circles - changes. In addition to the project, students will work on word study activities and begin learning test-taking strategies, as the PARCC assessment will be administered to third graders this spring. We will spend a very minimal amount of time reviewing test-taking strategies each day. During writing, students will continue to draft their realistic fiction stories as we learn about using descriptive setting details and captivating endings!
Math: I will instruct lessons 5.7- 5.10 this week. You can expect corresponding Home Links for homework. If your child doesn't complete the corresponding SMJ pages in class, that will be assigned for homework as well. Students will practice subtracting fractions, creating line plots, and working with angles and protractors.
Science: This week students will study metamorphic rocks and igneous rocks. We will also study how the rocks create a rock cycle.
Quarter Project: Information for the Quarter 3 Project was sent home last week. Your child was sent home with a purple-colored one-pager that includes expectations and deadlines for the project. Additionally, your child was sent home with a research template packet Research should be completed in note-taking form (i.e. complete sentences are not necessary). Students must use four different sources, which must include more than just internet resources. In other words, please have your child gather information from books as well. Information is also available on the TGW if your child did not bring his/her copy home. The research packet is due on March 6th.
Important Dates:
2/22 - 40 BC Due (18 entries total)
