This week we have been pretty busy. My students took a quiz on Tuesday and got another one back on the same day. On their multiplication of fractions quiz, they have a reflection letter due tomorrow and it should be signed by you. The long and the short of the letter is that they share with you what the learning target was and how well they did with the parts of that learning target and what they plan to do to get better and improve their scores.
Today students picked up Bits and Pieces 3 from the library! It's our last bits and pieces book and we will be using it to learn about using percentages. We will also be reviewing addition, subtraction, and multiplication of decimals using this book and we will also learn about dividing decimals. Most of these decimal calculation skills we will cover in our math reviews since the only one that is universally new is dividing decimals.
In science we have been wrapping up photosynthesis and students spent yesterday and today putting together an illustrated storyboard of photosynthesis. They will receive three different scores for their storyboard to gauge their understanding of photosynthesis: one on the process of photosynthesis and one involving illustrated details about how photosynthesis happens. The third grade is on the attention they paid to producing a quality product. While the storyboards were due today, I told students that if they wanted to take theirs home to work on it and do an especially careful job with it, they were welcome to do so, as long as it was turned in by 9:15 AM.
Thank you, and have a wonderful evening!
