Math:

For the next 2-3 weeks students will be working on the skills of perimeter and area.  We will be working in chapters 13 and 14 in the EnVision Math text book.  This week students will be calculating the perimeter of common shapes as well as real world examples found around our school.  We will be working with many different measuring tools such as a ruler, yard stick, and measuring tape.

Language Arts and Grammar:

This week students will continue working on lesson 13 of Wordly Wise and will test over these words on Friday, April 29.

Students will be writing a demonstration speech this week. These demonstrations will happen later in April. Please talk with your student about this speech, because students will be writing this speech, then presenting it and demonstrating whatever skill/craft/art/topic they have chosen.

In our Shurley Grammar program students are learning about conjunctions, their role in sentences, and compound subject nouns, compound subject pronouns, and compound verbs.

Reading:

This week students will continue reading Charlotte's Web, written by E.B. White. Although many students have either read the book or have seen the movie already, we always find many skills to work on with this wonderful book that is filled with rich vocabulary and fascinating characters.  Students are also in charge of completing comprehension and vocabulary exercises for each chapter.

Science: 
We will conclude the Solar System Unit with scale drawings of the planets. This involves learning about scale, ratio, and relative size as well as using a compass to draw a circle. Students will also garden some time this week weather permitting. Last week students prepared the two plots that we have in the community garden. Third grade will take care of them until the summer, then summer camp will take resposibility.

Social Studies - Students will continue their study of the three branches of government.
