Week of April 18 to 22

Reading: The third-graders are continuing to read How to Steal a Dog with Mr. Groshans' class.
We are also starting Unit 6: Extreme Environments in our reading materials.  The students will be investigating the question "What does it take to survive in the wild?".

Spelling: 2-syllable words with a VCCV pattern

Math: We are investigating fractions using many, many hands-on activities.  We are learning the names for various fractions (halves, thirds, fourths, sixths, and eights), words used in describing fractions (parts, whole, numerator, denominator), and the relative sizes of fractions. We will be working through the lessons in Chapter 8 on equal parts, equal shares, unit fractions, and fractions of a whole.

Please remember that Friday will be a day of no school!  School resumes on Monday.

Thank you!
Miss Kimpton
