Happy Boosterthon week! What does that all mean? I don't know either, it's my first Boosterthon! We will just figure it all out together.
This week in Math we are starting with the fraction quiz. The field trip day last week pushed us back a bit and we had to alter our plans. Tuesday and Wednesday we will begin with fractions on a number line. You will see something similar come home for HW this week. Fractions on a number line in it's simplest form looks like this:
This is when we in introduce students to what a mixed number is. A mixed number is a whole number WITH a fraction. In 3rd grade, students must be able to understand a number line being divided into 2,3,4,6,and 8's! Thursday and Friday we will introduce the Metric Measuring System. Students will measure lots of things around the room in centimeters and become familiar with the words millimeter, centimeter, meter, and kilometer.
We will have a fast facts test on Friday as well as a Problem of the Week.
In Science we will be continuing to learn about Natural Resources and conservation. Your child SHOULD have a Natural Resource flow chart in their red hw folder to study. It was brought home on Thursday night last week. They will need to be able to fill out a blank flow chart on their own by this coming Friday the 6th, as well as know why do we use wood for houses, cotton for clothing, etc... What does renewable/non-renewable mean? Why conserve? What are the three R's? There will be a few multiple choice questions that they will be responsible for answering on this short quiz.
Here is a video/song about the three R's that's fun and catchy!
Let's take care of earth.
Love,
Ms.S
