States Road trip, Synthesizing to Summarizing and Procedural Text

Spelling
We WILL NOT have spelling this week.
Reading
Synthesizing and Summarizing are still on our list of things to do well in Reading over the next few weeks.  

This week we will work with NON-FICTIONAL texts.  We will use a few different graphic organizers to help us notice text elements and record our thinking as we read. Their notes will cover the sequence of events that happen in the story.  Their thinking may also include connections, predictions, questions and inferences.
Writing
Mrs. Jenny Holter will help us finalize our work with procedural texts.  She will visit all classes again this week and help us create some shared writing!

SOCIAL STUDIES
STORY OF AMERICA
Our states QUIZ is this week.  Please make sure that your child has been studying the name and location of the 30 states sent home in the review 2 weeks ago.  This week students will participate in a grade level road trip.
Students will travel to other third grade teacher's classrooms and visit a few well known states.  While there they will virtually visit popular tourist destinations in these states.  To record the journey, they will create scrapbooks with photographs and journal entries.  Everyone will also collect souvenirs from each state trip.
