A Sneak Peek At Our Week ...

Reading:  For the next 3 weeks students will be completing a Character Study using the shared text James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl.  Information about the unit can be found on the Third Grade Website - Character Study.  Lessons this week will focus on how we learn about characters, noticing how characters change, and understanding character motivation.  There will be a vocabulary and comprehension quiz on Friday.

Writing:  Students will be using a new graphic organizer this week to complete their reading responses.  Responses will continue to be focused on using text evidence to support a claim, and explaining the evidence.  

Math:  Lessons 4.7-4.9 will be instructed this week, and we will take one day to practice writing math extended responses.  The Unit 4 test will be next week!

Social Studies:  Students are continuing to learn about different people and events that helped make Chicago the city it is today!  Friday will be a work day for students, giving them time to make their "Chicago Alphabet Books."
