Week 11: Our first trip!

We are headed to the Brooklyn Museum on Wednesday for our very first trip in Third Grade. Your child should have returned a permission slip indicating that they are allowed to accompany us. Some parents have volunteered to chaperone and help the class as we move throughout the museum exhibits. We will use this visit to help us learn more about shelters around the world as part of our current Socials Studies unit on Culture.

Here's what else to expect for next week:

• We are moving on from fiction reading to nonfiction reading. Our Reading and Writing work will center on information books. Children will focus on using text features and texts to make meaning of the topics being taught through the books they choose. Determining a main idea  with appropriate supporting details will be the challenging work of this unit. 
• The new math unit will focus on the Multiplication facts up to ten. 

Have a great weekend!
