Good morning. Third grade newsletter and homework sheet are attached. Dojo reports are being sent home with graded test papers – please be sure to sign these and return them tomorrow. As few reminders:
In Science this week, we are continuing our study of rocks, minerals, and soils. Students will learn about the three types of rocks: sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic. We will also learn about the different soil types: sand, silt, clay, and humus. There are some excellent Brain Pop videos that go along with this unit: https://jr.brainpop.com/science/land/rocksandminerals/ https://jr.brainpop.com/science/land/soil/ We will also simulate a lab to determine rock types and another lab to examine and compare the different soil types. We are also learning a song to help us remember the properties of rocks, the 3 different types, and how they are formed. I have attached the words and a link for your student to practice at home. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3YjBP5MYTY Once they get it down pat, I will record them and share! In Math, we have several fun activities planned for students to demonstrate their knowledge about shapes and their attributes. Students will complete two different writing activities using their creativity and knowledge about shapes. They will also complete a review assessment in groups. We are working on Math 4 Today Week 23, with a test on Friday and will continue with Kiwanis testing. I have attached it for your convenience to practice at home. Our school uses Study Island in our computer labs and they are now able to go to the computer labs each morning if they arrive early. I have created several review assignments on fractions for them. If your child would like to review/practice more from home, please feel free to allow them to work. The link ishttp://www.studyisland.com/ and they have their login and password in the front of their agenda. Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns!
