This week in 3rd grade we were quite busy! We had picture day and got to preview the book fair. We were also busy learning many new things. In Reading we finished Stone Fox. It was quite a surprising ending but luckily we got a chance to write our own endings to the book. It was fun coming up with different endings! We also compared the book to the movie. We really enjoyed seeing the story play out on the screen and comparing it to what we imagined in our heads while reading the book. In Writing we are almost done with our Realistic Fiction stories. We are working on editing our rough drafts and starting to write our final drafts! In Math we previewed our multiplication and division facts using 10s,5s,2s and 9s. This week we also learned 3s. Check out the video below to see how we practiced skip counting in our 3s. We also began to learn about area and how to calculate it. In Government we used our knowledge to complete a project creating a new government. It was fun! We also got to review our whole unit and reflect on our learning.
