Happy Fall
I am not sure if Maine has decided it is fall or summer, but this weather has been wonderful.
Math
Third graders have been challenged in math this week. We are learning multiplication and 2 step word problems. It is so fun to listen to their math strategies. This would be a great time to make some multiplication flash cards. Practicing math facts five minutes a night will make math so much easier for them going forward.
Reading/Writing
We have been practicing reading strategies along with math strategies! We are reading Dragons in a Bag and completing reading lessons to go with our story. We have been working on comprehension, vocabulary, predictions, and visualization. I have also been pulling small groups to work on specific reading skills. This week we worked on close reading. This is answering questions and backing it up with evidence from our story.
Science
We will finish our first science unit next week. They have had fun learning about fossils, selection, and animal adaptations.
A few pictures from our week:
