Reading: Last Friday, students practiced the first literature circle role of "Summarizer." Each day this week, I will model one of the remaining four literature circle roles, and students will practice this role before starting their "Perspective" literature circles next week.
Writing: We have started our Food Review writing unit! Students have been very excited (and hungry) during writing :). This week, students will learn how to use figurative language to describe their food of choice. We will also begin looking at key features of persuasive writing like using "hooks" in the introduction. Students will begin working on the introduction paragraph this week which contains a hook, explanation of topic, opinion description, and thesis statement.
Math: This week students will finish Unit 10 and will complete lessons 10.4-10.6. A review/study guide will be sent home Monday and will be due Friday this week. Students will play a review game in class on Friday and will be taking the test Monday, May 20th. Games, the IXL checklist, and additional study guides (for extra practice) can be found on the third grade website: Unit 10
Social Studies: We will begin our final unit of Social Studies this week! Unit 4: Chicago and Other Cities focuses on students comparing and contrasting historic interests, geographical boundaries, business and industry, culture and environment, and political systems of Chicago and another major U.S. city. Information on this unit can be found on the the third grade website: Unit 4. This week, students will begin researching another U.S. city.
