Hello parents,
December is here and let me tell you...it goes fast! Thank you so much for helping to make our Thanksgiving Feast wonderful this year! The food was delicious and we are so appreciative for all of your help! Here's what we have going on in 3rd grade for the next couple of weeks.
Religion: We are looking at the Christmas story and awaiting Jesus' birth from several different points of view. Using the book Voices of Christmas we will learn the reason that Jesus was born so many years ago!
Reading: Our 1st book club session is underway. I will be teaching the kids reading strategies such as predicting, visualizing, making connections, find problems and solutions, and others as we read through The Boxcar Children together. Then they will be breaking off into smaller book club groups and applying these skills independently to their respective books. For this session of book clubs all the kids are reading a book from The Bailey School Kids series. As the year goes on, we will break into different levels and genres of books.
Science: We are done with our unit on Life Cycles and will be starting to look at Force and Motion beginning next week.
Seesaw I plan to have your kids use Seesaw more and more. Thanks for all of your comments so far. The kids love seeing your feedback during the school day!
