A Sneak Peek at Our Week ...

Writing:  This week, students will no longer use a graphic organizer when they are writing extended reading responses.  Students will continue to create responses that focus on comparing and contrasting texts.  

Reading:  With ISAT being just around the corner, we will take the next two weeks completing different review stations to review reading concepts, strategies, and skills. This week, stations will focus on author's purpose, compare/contrast, cause/effect, fact/opinion, and sequencing.  

Math:  We will continue with Unit 6 lessons this week!

Social Studies:  This week we will be starting Unit 3: Chicago Today in social studies.  Information for this unit can be found on the Unit 3 page of the Third Grade website!  Listed below are guiding questions for the unit:

• What does Chicago look like today?
• How do Chicago's neighborhoods reflect the history of the city?
• How does Chicago take care of its citizens?
• In what ways have Chicago become a leading cultural and entertainment center?
• What are some of the businesses that have helped define Chicago as a city?
