Note to Parents: With the upcoming excitement of the Super Bowl, we have had an increase in students bringing football and baseball cards to school. Students have been distracted in class and had some trouble on the playground "dealing and trading" cards. We ask that you please have your child keep his or her cards at home.
Language Arts
Reading- While continuing to read non-fiction this week, readers will learn a helpful strategy called determining importance. As we read texts we will stop, think and discuss what important in important to the text rather than simply interesting. While this sounds simple, it's a more challenging skill for third graders as they have to set aside their personal opinions and think about the information, just the facts!

Writing- We are continuing to finish up our work on narratives. We will focus on getting our own personal narratives on paper and practicing many different types of leads to help our readers get hooked into our stories.
Spelling/Word Work- Application grades will be taken 2/4-2/9. New words will go home 2/10. Test 2/17.
Social Studies- Students should use the review study sheet for our first assessment on Tuesday, 2/9/16. They can also use our newspaper, journals and online resource (www.studiesweekly.com) to prepare for our test.
We've started the second half of our study and have learned about the life and work of Louis Pasteur. We will also be learning about Jonas Salk, Bill Gates, Maria Mitchell, Henry Ford, and Cyrus McCormick. You can reference the SOCIAL STUDIES WEBSITES page on this blog for more information and reading.
Math- This week in math we will be diving into graphing. We are still studying pictographs, bar graphs, tally charts, and dot plots. The students will be taking information in tally charts and pictographs and creating bar graphs and dot plots to match the information. A test question to access this skill might look like this:
A math worksheet will come home on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday night. The Problem of the Week will come home on Monday and will be due on Friday. Please continue to study every night for the Fast Facts quiz.
Science - We will be moving on to Natural Resources in Science. All students will discuss and learn examples of renewable and non renewable resources and where they originate from. Students should come to discover that most non-renewable resources come from under the earth. We will merge into conservation and recycling next week.
