Language Arts:
The end of Quarter 1 is truly a feather in the cap of our 3rd graders! They have learned so much in Language Arts and should be proud of all the skills they have gained. We will study 30 words per usual this week end complete the week with a spelling test on Friday. As our final writing assignment of the quarter, the class will be working on a formal descriptive paragraph and we will go through the entire writing process, from brainstorming to the final draft.  We will wrap up our reading of Pinocchio by Wednesday and begin a Virtue project surrounding the book. The students will make a paper puppet in class and assign a virtue to each part of the puppet to explain how they “embody” the virtues. This project will mostly be completed on Friday as we celebrate the story together.

Math:
We will be learning to multiply multiple digit numbers by 2, 3, 4, and 5 this week (ex. 6752x3). Please plan to provide lots of support with homework as this is a challenging concept and brand new for them! There will be a quiz on Friday after a long practice/review session.

Science:
It is hard to believe our first quarter is over and we have completed our first unit of study on Classification. We will take time to work on reading comprehension and fluency skills this week  by reading an article on Mammals and working together to answer comprehension questions that follow. We will use our science time to write a persuasive essay about the animals we have been learning about and will finish out our short week with an assessment over what we have learned throughout the first quarter.

History:
This week in history we will start to learn about Ancient Rome! We will look at maps, learn about the origin story, and start to dive into the culture of Ancient Rome. Get ready for our exciting new unit!

Planet Project Update

Hello Families! Today was research day for our planet project and the students had a little over an hour to research information about their assigned planet. Many scholars were able to find plenty of information and fill up the research sheet, however there are also many scholars that could benefit from some additional help. We will be using this information to write an essay later this week, so it is important that they have enough information written on their research sheet. We used these websites: National Geographic and  Nasa . If you are able, help your student to peruse these sites for details about their assigned planet and fill in the information on their research sheet. Thank you so much for your support! Please feel free to reach out with any questions Mrs. Arnold LArnold@ArchwayArete.org
