Brrrr, it's chilly outside, but in the classroom we are ice cold! We have begun studying Native Americans and we kicked off this unit by learning about the Inuit tribes of the Arctic region. The students had a great time building inukshuks and learning how igloos keep Inuits warm. Ask your child what Inukshuks and the Big Chicken on Cobb Parkway have in common. We will continue our studies next week as well. The students will even rotate to other 3rd grade classrooms to learn from each third grade teacher. This will take place throughout next week. By Friday, they will be experts in American Indian regions.
You should have seen information come home today about a special book report students will be presenting during the last few days of December. This is such a special time for the kids to get to share a book that is special for their family and to have the spotlight while the class listens to them read a story. Please email me if you have any questions about this after reading the information in the packet. Here is a look at what we will be learning next week: Reading: Text Features Writing: Informational Writing Math: Multiplication and Division Word Problems Grammar: Subject-Verb Agreement Vocabulary Words: clarify, strain, remain, exotic, spare Social Studies: American Indian Regions Science: Fossils Next week is the last week before Thanksgiving Break!
