Week of January 15th-19th
Happy New Year! It was so much fun seeing all of the kids this week and reconnecting as a class.
I hope that you all had a relaxing and rejuvenating holiday. All of the kids were excited about seeing their friends, sharing stories, and getting back into a class routine. With a new year, we talked a lot about
setting goals and resolutions. As a class, we decided to each think of one little
word to use as our year-long motto. Be sure to ask your child about their word!

We started our persuasive writing unit and the kids are all excited to convince others in the class,
in the school, and perhaps at home. So please be prepared for all of the persuasion that might be happening this month.We are all very excited for a fabulous second semester and we welcome many new families to our third-grade community. Please reach out and help them all feel welcome!

In 3EV we welcomed Maria this week (who actually attended ISKL in grade 2, so she is a familiar face to many).
This week begins on a day 4

Students will be analyzing different nonfiction books. We will be determining what makes a qualitychildren’s nonfiction book. Some of the elements we will look at are: infographics, back matter, layout,
interest level, and more.

Writing
Students will continue writing persuasive speeches. We will be looking at different strategies to collectideas.We will consider our audience to include our most persuasive reasons. As we get back into our writing routines, we will focus on editing as we go to ensure our readers understand. |
Math
We will continue our multiplication and area unit. Important concepts we will continue to explore this
week are using square units to measure area, solving real-world problems dealing with area, and continue to reinforce our addition/subtraction/multiplication/division facts. Please continue to help your child practice these at home! |
Social Studies
We are launching our People of the Past Unit, which is a study of ancient civilizations. We will be
taking a deeper look into how we learn about the past and how the past continues to influence us today. If any of you have any expertise in this area, we would love to have you share this with the kids! |
