We are starting our next unit in reading. We are working on book series. All the third graders will be reading Little House in the Big Woods. We will be doing several activities with the series. The students will also learn how to answer a question in a complete sentence.

In math, we continue to work on multiplication and division. With the first unit we cover x0, x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, x9, and x10 so if you need practice sheets for a specific number, please ask.

This week our high frequency words are once, animal, life, took. Please practice these words as well as the words in their sorts. When your child brings home their weekly test, please continue to work on those words, especially over the weekend so they can learn the words for life.

In writing, the students found out their bird. They have had a chance to look through books. They are learning how to take notes and to site their sources. We will move to doing research on the internet later this week.

In science, we will be learning about plants and their parts.
