Welcome back from the long holiday weekend! Hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving and got some time to think about all the things we have to be thankful for! Now after all that turkey, it is time to get back to business for 3 more weeks!
Our class went to MVHS yesterday to have our reader's theater recorded by the video and production class. The kids performed fabulously! I will keep you posted as to when we will be able to view the production.
December is always a very busy month with lots of things added to our schedules. Check out the REMINDERS at the bottom of this post. :)
Here is what is going on this week!
Math
We will continue our Geometry unit on two-dimensional shapes and their attributes. This week we will cover how polygons can be put together and taken apart to make new polygons.
Reading
This week we will start a Rigby theme about Recycling and our comprehension strategy we will focus on is determining importance.
Spelling
We will continue to have a 15 word Rigby list and the challenge list. This week the prefix is super-, sur- which means over, above, beyond.
The Rigby list is: can, cook, find, your, bigger, bragger, dimmed, dropping, hugging, ripped, splitting, strumming, tripped, wetter, and transferred.
The challenge list is: superb, superimpose, superintendent, superior, supervisor, surcharge, surplus, surprise, surreal, and surtax.
Science
This week we are starting a new unit on recycling/pollution and inventions. We will only get to introduce this unit but will start more detail and projects next week.
Social Studies
After so much work from our five wonderful candidates, I would like to announce our President and Vice President after Tuesday's election: Hunter and Peyton! The class will now start campaigning for Hunter to be the president of the entire 3rd grade! We will be working on our campaign all week and the final election is this Friday.
Grammar
We will be reviewing adjectives, root words, prefixes, and suffixes. We will be making posters, jingles, and playing bingo!
Have a good week!
