This week in Room 210, we will be reading the selection, The Planets in Our Solar System, written by Franklyn M. Branley. (Unit 2, Week 4) The strategy will be to generate questions and the skill is summarizing. Students will ask and answer questions about this informational text and look back at the text often to find the answers. A summary is a short statement of the most important ideas in a paragraph, passage, or selection. It includes the main ideas and the most important details. (CCSS3.RI.1-2)
The spelling words are Consonant Blends-- three letter blends such as thr, spr, scr, and str. In grammar, students will learn about singular and plural possessive nouns. They will have a Weekly Reading Assessment on Friday that will assess all the skills learned and practiced during the week.
We are beginning math work with multiplication and will dig into Chapter 3 on Monday. Now is a great time to begin having your student memorize their multiplication facts. A Common Core State Standard states that third grade students will "fluently multiply and divide within 100. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers." CCSS3.OA.7
On Tuesday we will have a science test on Natural Resources. We will play a Jeopardy Review Game tomorrow.
