We had fun this week as we started to learn about measurement. After realizing how many different things that we measure, we noticed how important this skill really is. Many of the students related measurement to their future career dreams. During our workshop time students had the opportunity to play a matching game, read a measurement book, and experiment with measurement tools. We had so much sharing our non-fiction pieces together! We've been working hard this week to learn the meaning of economics and we start to dive into Michigan's economics. Here is our definition! The long a can be produced in many ways. We are going to focusing on 3 main spelling patterns of the long “a” this week:
1. “a-consonant-e” as in cake and face 2. “ay” as in hay and play 3. “ai” as in train and brain Practice at home: Try practicing your words at home this week by scrambling all the letters to each word. Then ask an adult or sibling to unscramble the words. Check their work. We are excited to host our 3rd annual Superbowl Party! We invite all dads, grandpas, uncles, and family friends to join our third graders as they enjoy a variety of activities related to the Superbowl!
When? February 5 Time? 2:30-3:30 What do we need? Our class is in charge of water bottles and salty treats (chips and salsa, pretzels, etc) for all of the third graders and our special guests! If you'd like to contribute to these items, please let me know! Moms, you are welcome to join us too! :) While reading Owl Moon, students will be identifying the compound predicates. Remembering that predicates are verbs we will be noticing how some sentences have more than one verb (or predicate). We will also talk about possessive pronouns. Possessive pronouns are pronouns that show ownership. For example: your, his, my, her, theirs are possessive pronouns.
This week the students will be learning the different ways to make the /er/ sound including:
ir as in bird er as in never ar as in farm ur as in turn or as in form Practice at home: Try practicing your words at home this week by setting the timer for 3 minutes. See how many of your words you and write before the timer goes off. |
