Ms. Zurales' 3rd Grade News

March 1, 2019

ELA  Country reports are due on Monday. Please make sure your child reviews their rubric and country information guide when they are editing. Next week, we will be focusing on main idea and details. 

Culture week is coming up. Students brought home an information sheet on what

it is all about. The day they are expected to present can be found on the

sheet. In a nut shell, this is what is expected from each student:

1. Pick any 3 chapters and practice reading them.

2. Make something that shows your connection to the country (slide, poster, 

index card, video).

3. Bring in 2 items that represent your country (ie: music, food, instrument, 

pictures, book, souvenirs, etc.)

February Logs are due on March 4.

SPELLING  We will be taking a break from spelling this week. We will be working on prefixes and suffixes.

SOCIAL SCIENCE  Science: We finished our unit on Balancing Forces with a  written scientific explanation on why the train changes from falling to floating.

Social Studies: Mr Blocker will be back for our fourth Jr. Achievement session. Students will learn about city and government taxes. 

MATH  Ms. Zurales' Math class: students will be playing a couple of games that will give them more practice with division and then they will be introduced to area. There will be a division checkpoint quiz on area on Wednesday.

Our next Multiplication facts will be the 12s. This quiz will be on Thursday, March 7, 2019.
