We had lots to do this week despite it being a four day week! Students were busy learning and cheering on our OBOB Team. Congrats to the Ferocious Falcons for taking first place in third grade! Woo hoo! Math: We spent more time working on area. I gave students a scenario including two house floor plans. They were required to find the square footage of both floor plans and determine which house had more square footage. It required LOTS of math! Many of them figured it out! Go third graders! Literacy: Students continued to meet in their book clubs and read through their book club book. They are working to track their main character's journey, paying close attention to the problems they face and how they react to them. Students determined what the biggest problem their character has faced so far in their book and if the problem is getting worse. Writing: We had the opportunity to start cursive. I am seeing the cursive all over their writing pieces now. So cute! They are really enjoying learning something so exciting! As well as cursive, we started our writing inquiry on opinion/persuasive pieces. Students came up with a list of issues they are aware of around the school. They determined the one that needs the most fixing is how the library and technology passes are distributed in the morning. They decided the system is unfair to many of the students. They wrote their topic sentences and supported them with examples and reasons. Social Studies: We started on our PYP Theme: Sharing the Planet! Students were posed the question, "What is a Region?". Each day they are receiving clues they must piece together to help them understand what a region is or what makes up a region (SHHH don't tell them!). They were given six different posters with a variety of pictures on them. The pictures were organized in a certain way but students were not told how they were organized. They went around and made observations about what they saw.
