We have had a wonderful week learning about Native American tribes. The students had the opportunity to learn about a different tribe from each third grade teacher. Today, your child should have brought home some artifacts from their rotations. Help them unpack their portfolio and tell you about what they learned.
In math this week, we used Cheez-Its to create area models and find the area of rectangles. The students also created area models and explained their thinking using an app called ChatterPix to actually make their area models talk. The results made us all giggle. Take a look at your child's See Saw this week for some math silliness. :) In reading, we have been making inferences. The kiddos have loved trying to solve clues in text to create new understandings about the stories we read. Remember, the best way to grow as a reader is to read as much as possible. Please take some time over the break to take your child to the book store or library to find some new titles to fall in love with. Travelling for the holidays? Encourage your child to pack a good book to take on the trip. We celebrated Because of Winn Dixie by watching the movie in the classroom this afternoon. This book has been a special one for our class. We had a special snack of pickles (and birthday cupcakes) to go along with it. With Thanksgiving coming up, we sure have been feasting this week it seems. ;) I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoy spending time with your families. I know that I am looking forward to sunshine, pumpkin pie, family-time, and waking up after the sun for a few days. I am so very thankful for the opportunity to teach this sweet class.
