This week in third grade we completed our village maps and paragraphs. Everyone did a fabulous job! Our next science unit will be exploring the earth. We will be discussing rocks and minerals, and performing some fun experiments in the upcoming weeks. If you have any great rock / mineral samples at home, send them on in :o)
We will continue to work on narrative writing during our Writer’s Workshop time. We will use our schema (prior knowledge) to choose a topic and develop the following story elements; characters, setting, plot, events, and outcome.
Next week during Reading Workshop we will discuss “what good readers do when they read” and the connections they make with the text. Make sure to ask your child if they made any connections to the books we read in class.
