Hello! This week, we have/will be working on:
Reading: We are starting Frindle by Andre Clements. The students will be predicting, questioning, and drawing images from their minds as we read.
Leap Day: We did a few fun activities to investigate Leap Years, including comparing calendars from various years, identifying the Leap Years, and using the dictionary to make words from February Twenty-Ninth.
Spelling: Unit 23 Contractions
Math: We are starting division this week! All week, the students will be investigating the process of division through sharing various materials. They will be learning how to use the proper symbols to write equations, and they will be relating multiplication to division.
Writing: The third-graders will be adding details to the nursery rhyme "Humpty Dumpty" to answer the questions Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How? They will then practice writing elaborated sentences for each part of they rhyme.
This class is filled with so many responsible kids that we are instituting Gum Fridays. They will be allowed to bring gum to school to chew on Fridays. The rules are:
1. Bring your own gum.
2. No sharing
3. Chewed gum goes in the garbage.
4. Gum is allowed only in our classroom.
Enjoy this first week of March!
Miss Kimpton
