What a crazy week! With the past two weather days being used up, we are a tad behind schedule. We did finish our study of fractions of a set, but never got around to accessing it. On Monday we will review regional fractions and fractions of a set and then have an assessment it.
Remember regional fractions look like this:
Fractions of a set look like this:
Mid week we will start linear fractions by teaching the students how to play several fun fraction games! The kids will be comparing Linear Fractions to decide if 1/3 is less, more, or equal to 1/2. They will be given a visual tool to help them make these decisions. We will teach the kids a fun game called "Fraction Taco," mid week by which the students will cut and manipulate and make their own linear fractions to really reach those kinesthetic learners.
Multiplication fast facts will not be graded this week, as they were graded last week.
In Science we are starting the water cycle for the first two days. Mid week we will be going to the Science Museum for a filed trip. Thursday and Friday we will begin our study of clouds. In third grade we will study four types of clouds: Cumulus, Nimbus, Status, and Cirrus.
It will be a full week of learning with hopefully no more weather interruptions.
