It was another awesome week in third grade! We learned many new concepts and skills in all of our subjects...
We began drafting personal narrative stories in Writing using the strategy of "showing, not telling." "Showing, not telling" involves using descriptive language and sensory details to paint a mental picture in the readers' mind...
In Math, we solved addition and subtraction problems using manipulatives called Base Ten Blocks. These are tools that help us visualize numbers according to place value...
We started the first week of our third grade spelling and word study program...
We learned more about the towns, cities, and landmarks within the state of Massachusetts...
We learned a new strategy for summarizing stories called "Someone-Wanted-But-So-Then." We also practiced finding evidence to support a claim about a particular text. We used the story My Rotten Redheaded Older Brother by Patricia Polacco.
This week, we also had our first assembly of the year...
I can't wait to meet many of you in person next week at Curriculum Night!
