This blog will not be updated weekly while I am gone. Instead, Mrs. Frazier will be doing a paper newsletter every other week that will be in the Friday folder. The blog updates will resume in January!
In the Classroom
We began our second math unit this week. Students studied how to use basic addition and subtraction facts to solve extended facts. For example, knowing 8 + 4 = 12 can help us get 80 + 40 = 120 and 800 + 400 = 1,200. We also reviewed our word problem solving strategies from 2nd grade in order to solve a variety of addition and subtraction problems.
In writing this week, students continued adding strong details to their personal narratives. We learned how to use our senses as inspiration to include details.
In reading this week, students learned how to make predictions when reading a non-fiction book. We used a book about wild animals to practice this skill.
We finished our first Social Studies unit this week. Students took an assessment over Civics and Communities on Friday. We will begin our next unit, Weather and Climate, on Monday.
