Happy Holidays! Unbelievable how fast time flies! I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving! I survived Black Friday shopping at Bronners in Frankenmuth! It was CRAZY busy, but so much festive fun! On the Wednesday before our short break, we had a fun day of jammies and games. The kids peeled and cut apples for our homemade applesauce. It smelled and tasted delicious!
Curriculum Update:
Math- Unit 3 focused on practicing different addition, subtraction, and multiplication strategies. Our Unit test will be on Tuesday. Your child has his/her review completed and at home for practice.
Social Studies: We learned about natural and human resources in MI and how people use these resources. Adapting and modifying environments was our last lesson in this unit. We will complete a review Monday to send home and there will be a test on Thursday.
Reading: The kids are reading a book from a series. They are analyzing the characters and problem of the book and they will compare and contrast it to another book in the same series.
Writing: We edited, revised and published our first big writing unit of personal narratives. I will share part of them with you at conferences. :-) Our next unit is writing persuasive essays.
Our class partnered up with Mrs. Gauthier's Kindergartners last week and we went to the Media Center to use Dash Bots! It was so fun and our third graders did a great job showing their little buddy how to use the Ipad app to control their Dash Bot robot. :-) Persevering and practicing a mindset of patience and persistence never entered their minds as they worked to make their Dash Bot move in ways they entered on the Ipad. It was a fun learning experience and I'm looking forward to using the next week!
