Good morning! We have had a very exciting day so far! This morning, we had our Kiwanis Medallion Award Ceremony with General Ed Hall. After receiving our medals, we loaded up the buses and took a tour of the Spartanburg Country Public Library. We learned about their summer programs and enjoyed a read aloud. This week, we are finishing up with Dolphin Tale 2. We will then begin 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!) Tomorrow, we will read the book and the students will do a writing activity, where they became the author. The prompt is “I don’t want it to rain meatballs, but I wish it would rain __________, because…” They will also be allowed to illustrate their writing. Wednesday, 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. Please let me know if you have any further questions. I have attached the third grade newsletter. If anyone is interested in sending snacks/drinks for our class the day of the Carowinds field trip, please let me know as soon as possible. We will also need waters for Field Day. Thanks so much for your continued support!
