Update: Week of December 2

Here is an update of our learning in 3rd grade:

Writing: We are publishing our persuasive speeches and look forward to sharing our pieces with our classmates on Friday. This week, we will also begin a new writing unit: The Art of Information Writing. We will learn strategies to write in a way that teaches our reader.

Math: We have started our third math unit and we have studied measurement with inches, half inch, quarter inch as well as liquid volume with gallons, quarts, pints, cups, liters, milliliters. We will move into time and elapsed time as well. Please check with your child about what math facts they will be working on this Friday for their practice page.

Reading: We have learned so many strategies for reading mystery books and we are learning that these strategies can be used with all fiction books. We have learned what it means to read with our mind on ‘high-alert’ and be an active reader. We will be moving into our next unit and will learn new strategies for reading informational text.

Social Studies: We continue our study of Michigan geography and this week we will learn about the natural resources in Michigan.  

Homework:
Reading and Math Fact Log due every Monday.
Please help your child remember to sign on the days they read and practice facts. 

**************************************************

Our Class Making A Difference:
As we enter the winter months, we realize that not everyone has access to warm socks, hats, gloves, or mittens. These are essential items for a Michigan winter! Our class would like to bless others by collecting these items to then be donated to area shelters and/or food pantries so they can be distributed to those in need.

If you are able, please send in new socks, hats, gloves/mittens. All sizes, kids through adult!
We will collect items through December 16. I will plan to drop the items off, but if you have a
place in mind and would be willing to do a drop off, please let me know!
