Mrs. Kruchinski's Third Grade

What's Happening

Assignments

Dear Parents,

         In Language Arts we are working on main ideas, cause and effect. The New York State ELA test went well and all the students work so hard on doing their best. We are researching wild animals facts and making a mobile to display the facts. Our unit of study is Benjamin Franklin and his fascinating life. We continue to write to our pen-pals in Whitehall. Stop by to see our poems!

 

         In Math please practice your multiplication facts.  We must know them to the automatic level!  We have a BIG math quiz each Monday. We have an envelope of flashcards which should be practiced nightly for 10 minutes.  Can your child tell you the difference between a trapezoid and a rhombus? Measuring of any object is a great practice. As we move on in math the students are doing triple digit multiplication---again those facts certainly come in handy!

 

       In Social Studies we are finished our study of economics.  Key terms like producers, suppliers, consumers, wants and needs should be explained to you by your very  smart  SS student.

 

In Science, we measure our plants and plot the growth.  The plant cycle is studied and related to the life cycle of animals. With our fast growing plants we hope to have them pollinated with real bees.

Please let me know if there is a change in your travel arrangements for the zoo trip.

Thanks for all your support!
