What We’re Learning!
Students continue to focus on various strategies and skills as they read independently or listen to a read aloud during our Reader's Workshop. We choose books in class to read independently and as a class we are starting to read Because of Winn-Dixie .Students are learning new vocabulary words, improving comprehension and working on fluency.
Our writing will now focus on Literary Essay's. During Writer's Workshop students will be have the opportunity to read several books, analyze characters (change, growth, etc.) Third graders will be able to find the author's purpose and/or the lesson we can learn form a book. Students will write an essay sharing their thoughts and ideas with text evidence in an organized essay.
In Math, students are learning Geometry. We are investigating line segments, rays and lines. Exploring polygons, including triangles and quadrangles and drawing/measuring angles are also included in our Geometry studies.
February is going to be another fun and eventful month!
