Our work this week will include:
Reading: The students will finish reading "How to Steal a Dog" and will be recalling and retelling events from the story. In our small reading groups, they will be investigating further various features of extreme environments and adaptations of living things that help them survive.
Word Work: Noun Suffixes
Spelling: Double Consonant
Math: The third-graders continue to work with fractions in their GoMath workbooks to understand the various quantities and divisions. They will be ordering them on number lines, building whole amounts based on the fractions, and making fraction strips.
We spend a lot of time using different materials to act out problems. Here, eight people (markers) are sharing 4 sandwiches (pink paper). These types of activities really help students understand what it means to separate whole amounts into equal pieces.
