Week of February 27-March 3

Week of 2/27/17 - 3/3/17

We had a delightful week in third grade starting with an in-school field trip on Tuesday about matter. A scientist from High Touch, High Tech came in and taught us all about the three states of matter.    

Also, We had culture day! We were able to learn so many new things about each other's culture! I hope the students had fun!

Coming up Next Week:

Spelling:  New spelling words will be going home on Monday.  I am asking that 4 activities be completed: one from each column and another of the student’s choice.  This assignment will be due on or before March 10.  

Reading & Language Arts: We will begin reading about Chicago as part of an ELA/Social Studies time. We will start with the history of the land and be filling out an "Eyewitness Chicago" packet using text dependent questions. We will also continue stations.

February reading logs are due February, 28th.  A March log will be going home Wednesday.

Social Science:  We have begun our Space chapter. This is a favorite among the students. We will finish up lesson 1 with a notes sheet and an open book quiz.

Mrs. Mandru's Math Class:  We have finished unit 5 and we will be starting unit 6 this week. We will focus on the question, what are quadrilaterals and its attributes. The times 7 test will be on Thursday, since Friday is a half day and we will not be meeting for math!
