Topics of Study...
Reading/Language Arts~ We are continuing to focus on the elements of fiction (characters, setting, problem, solution). Our grammar focus is on pronouns, adjectives, and complete/incomplete sentences. In writing, we are working on responding to literature. In their writing, the students are summarizing a story and sharing connections.
Math~ Keep studying the multiplication tables. Students must learn tables 1-10 in the third grade. Our focus is on understanding multiplication and division, geometry, money (making change), and graphing.
Social Studies and Science~ Our study of historic figures who helped shape our democracy focuses on Paul Revere, Susan B. Anthony, and Frederick Douglass. We'll also work on map skills with an emphasis on longitude and latitude. In science, we'll study soil, weathering and erosion. Then we'll begin our study of habitats.
