A Sneak Peek At Our Week ...

Writing:  Students will begin revising their realistic fiction drafts this week.  A revising checklist can be found on the 3GW under the Realistic Fiction tab.  (A final rubric will be posted this week as well!)

Reading:  This week students will begin literature circles!  Students already chose a subject they were most interested in and will begin working in groups of four, participating in literature circles for the next two weeks.  Each group has created their own calendar and schedule for their discussions.  Lessons will focus on discussion strategies that promote student interaction and higher level thinking skills.

Math:  Students will take the Unit 8 math test on Monday and then will begin Unit 9: Fractions, Decimals, and Percents this week!  Be sure to check out the Unit 9 page of the 3GW for the family letter, vocabulary resources, the IXL checklist, and games! 

Science:  Students will investigate the following key questions this week: How are high and low sounds made?  How does length affect the rate of vibration, and therefore pitch?  The Sound page of the 3GW has great resources and games for your child to explore!
