8/6-8/10 The First Week of School!

Welcome to the first week of third grade! It was wonderful meeting everyone last Thursday! Please read the blog every week with updates on what we are learning! Language Arts: We will be hitting the ground running this week in ELA. We get right into Spalding handwriting as Third Graders are expected to use cursive exclusively. We will review all the standards and practice thoroughly. In grammar we will introduce nouns and pronouns. Our first literature book is Pinocchio. Please make sure your child has that by Wednesday to read with the class.

Math:  We will be working with place value up to the ten thousands place. There will be a quiz on the material Friday.

Science: This week in Science, we will learn how scientists classify animals. We will discover the differences between vertebrates and invertebrates as well as cold-blooded and warm-blooded animals.

History: This week we will be learning how to use and construct maps. We will also be labeling and memorizing the continents, oceans, poles, Equator, and the Prime Meridian! Be prepared for an exciting week!

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
