What We Learned This Week

In Language Arts, we read the book All About Apples. Students completed work around the non-fiction book such as cause and effect, text features, and illustrations vs. text. This book pairs with the fictional book we read last week, Mr. Peabody's Apples.

Math was focused on reviewing addition and subtraction! Students reviewed the strategies to solve addition and subtraction problems such as partial sums and traditional for addition. For subtraction, they reviewed the counting-up strategy and traditional. During Math Workshop, students engaged in various math games to practice skills learned during whole group lessons and participated in additional instruction with teachers.

Place Value:  3rd Grade, Section B, Activities 1-9 (6 will be a challenge!)

Addition:   3rd Grade, Section C, Activities 1, 2, 6, 9, 12, 15, 16

No Social Studies this week due to the short week and finishing up the last mystery for science.

For Science, students completed the final mystery of our first unit, Power of Flowers. Over the course of this first unit, students learned the difference between a science vegetable and a science fruit. Additionally, they learned how fruit grows from flowers.
