3rd Grade 2017 - 2018
Alston Ridge Elementary Home of the Alligators!
Greetings everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful long weekend. Here are the things we are working on this week:
Reading: We have ended our study of poetry and our biography power point projects. The students did a great job taking notes on their person as they read. They really did a nice job creating their presentations and learned alot from each other too! At this time, we are working on a new research paper so students have chosen an animal they were not very familiar with and are reading a variety of texts. Writing: Students are taking notes about their animal that we will turn into a research paper. In addition, we are working on "how to" writing in which students describe steps in a process. Math: We are continuing our study of time this week. We are working to figure out elapsed time in many different situations. Elapsed time will be on the EOG. It is important to practice this skill at home as well. This is an easy one to practice on a daily basis. When you are making dinner or driving somewhere, talk to your student about how much time has passed and how much time until the activity is done. They might need to draw out a clock to help them. Here are some links that go along with the strategies we are using: Clock https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXFZUMjehDU T-chart https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Eucvb7qFpk Numberline, Clock, and Subtacting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKzmSMePwTQ Science: We are continuing our study of plants. This week we thinned and transplanted our seedlings and did an experiment with kool-aid to show how pollen is transferred from flower to flower. |
