Week 16

Our third grade otters worked hard to stay focused and productive this week, even with the fast approaching vacation!  In math we worked on rounding numbers to the nearest 10 and 100.  We are subtracting larger numbers on the number line.  Subtraction with regrouping has just been introduced.  In writing workshop students learned about what makes a good conclusion: connecting back to your introduction, explaining why your topic matters and leaving your reader with something to think about.  During reading this week, students chose a non fiction book of their choice and are learning to write an informative summary focusing on the main idea and details and leaving out unimportant information.  Our week will end in the forest with an outside ornament-making workshop.
