Quarter 4 Project Speech - Update!
In the Quarter 4 project's description, it states that your child's Wax Museum speech should be 1-2 minutes. The speech can be anywhere from 30 seconds - 2 minutes, as long as it highlights the required components!
A Sneak Peek At Our Week ...
Reading: Students will begin looking closer at point of view and perspective this week using the mentor text Voices in the Park. On Tuesday students will begin reading The Sign of the Beaver, a shared novel we will be reading as a class. Lessons this week will focus on using details in the text to help us visualize, using key words to summarize, and understanding different perspectives of one event.
Writing: Students will make final revisions to their realistic fiction story on Monday, and will spend the remainder of the week publishing their final pieces!
Math: The Unit 9 test will take place on Monday. Students will take the Unit 11 pretest on Tuesday and will begin Unit 11: 3D Shapes, Weight, Volume, & Capacity lessons during the remainder of the week. Check out the 3GW for resources!

Science Homework
*** For students' multiple choice homework for science, they are missing a page in their text so they will not need to complete #8! (They can attempt to answer the question as best as they can - it will not be marked against them!)
