Good morning! Attached you will find the DREAM homework sheet and Third grade newsletter. We will no longer be completely Multiplication Study Logs. J This week’s homework will go along with our Science unit. Students will review the weather forecast each night and record it on their DREAM sheet. (www.weather.com) In Science, we are working on a unit that goes along with Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. We will study different weather phenomenon and different cloud types. (These are actually 4th grade standards!) Today we read the book and the students did a writing activity, where they became the author. The prompt was “I don’t want it to rain meatballs, but I wish it would rain __________, because…” They were also allowed to illustrate their writing. They turned out so cute! Tomorrow, we will focus on cloud types. This is an excellent tutorial on the different types of clouds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMagDRCpJ14. We will also read about them in the attached article. On Wednesday, we will review some things Ms. Mitchell has taught them about figurative language by completing a fun activity on weather related idioms. Thursday and Friday, we will complete a weather scavenger hunt and watch clips from the movie Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. In math, we will review through several math topics that go along with our weather unit. We will practice reading thermometers, complete a favorite weather survey and make bar graphs, and solve weather word problems. We will have our Math 4 Today #30 test tomorrow! (So that I can get them graded and recorded before grades are due). We are reviewing and correcting their folder work in class today! I have noticed that a large number of students are still having difficulty with time and elapsed time. I have chosen these two areas for our Study Island Log this week. I am anxious to see their scores on the logs. Hopefully this extra review will benefit them and help them master these skills. Please continue to practice with them at home and give them “real world” experiences and application. Dojo reports and graded test papers will be sent home today. Please sign them and return them by tomorrow. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
