Wow! What a busy week last week all crammed into four days! This week we will also have another field trip. Our WITS program that has been teaching our kids to write will be taking us to the Menil museum. It will be a neat experience for the kids for sure.
In Math this week we will still be working on fractions. Monday and Tuesday we will work on making equal fractions, Wednesday and Thursday we will use our knowledge of fractions to compare them. The students will have pictorial models in order to make a decision of greater than, less than, or equal to. On Friday, we will have an all encompassing test on fractions. The pictures below will explain how students make equal fractions and compare fractions in 3rd grade.
There will be a Problem of the Week due on Friday as well as a fast facts test grade that will go in the grade book.
In Science we are learning about Natural Resources (renewable and nonrenewable). This week we will take common things like a cheese sandwich and/or a teddy bear and break down what the objects are made of and whether the materials are renewable or non-renewable. We also will discuss how this applies to conservation and the Three R's, Reuse, Reduce, and Recycle. We will discuss ways to conserve and discuss how we can take care of our earth.
Important things to remember about this week:
Tuesday-Book Fair Dinner
Wednesday-Donuts in the morning sponsored by the Dad's Club
Thursday-WITS field trip
Friday-Go Texan Day
Love,
Ms. S
