Dear Grade Three & Parents,
Finally the sun has returned! Hurray! However, please continue to warm layers to school as our weather is unpredictable.
LA - We are continuing to look at the main character "Gilgamesh" from our reading of Gilgamesh the King. We are learning how to write strong sentences to express our emotions - using the "show don't tell" strategy. For example, we can turn a basic sentence from "Jill was mad" to "Jill's brow furled as she stared into the eyes of Billy" to better express feelings on paper. Ask mom or dad for ideas as to how they would express being "excited."
Science - Today, we continued our study with rocks. We worked to build a better understanding of attributes. A simple definition of an attribute is "a way to describe or group objects together." We learned today about words connected to the physical properties of rocks. We will continue our work tomorrow.
Literacy MAP - Please continue to study your letter-sounds. If you are in my group, you have another spelling test on Tuesday, September 28, 2010. There are 15 words to study.
Library Books - Students signed out new books today. Please continue to read daily to keep your brain active. Remember if you finish early, you can ask to visit the library before next Wednesday.
Have a great night.
Ms. Toy
