Good morning. This week's homework can be found on the agenda pages below. Please notice that students should review for their Core Bites test tonight as part of their homework. After every 15 Core Bites lessons, we have a test. We completed the Study Guide together in class today. They have this in their blue folder. We are also working on Math 4 Today Week #10 this week. We will complete that study guide together on Thursday and our test will be on Friday as usual. Our focus this week in math will be on 2D and 3D shapes. There are some Brain Pop, Jr. and Study Jams videos that go along with this: Plane Figures Solid Figures Edges, Faces, & Vertices The most difficult concept for third graders to grasp is identifying the deconstruction of nets. I am including several downloads that will allow your student to practice this at home, if you wish. Foldables: Triangular Prism Square Pyramid Cylinder Rectangular Prism Cone Cube Triangular Pyramid Identifying deconstructed nets: Practice Sheet #1 Practice Sheet #2 Practice Sheet #3 In Science we just started our new chapter on Electricity & Magnetism. On Friday, I gave each table group a D-cell battery, 2 wires, and a bulb and told them to "light the bulb". While it was very frustrating for them at first, the inquiry in this activity allows for such an authentic learning experience. In the end, all students experienced creating a circuit that would light the bulb. Please enjoy the pictures I captured Friday during this activity.
There are numerous videos and simulations that go along with this chapter. Please use the links below to review this information at home.
