Math
In math students will be working with
multiplication and division. They will be able to use more than one way to
find the product of two factors and explore the meaning behind these
concepts. Students will develop their mathematical tool belt with strategies
when attacking multiplication and division problems through skip counting,
creating equal groups, learning math facts and how to create arrays to solve
problems.
Student Handbook: 39-46, 49-53
Learning Targets: Multiplication and division are
inverse operations and can be modeled in a variety of ways
Literacy
In reading we
have focused on building on our schema and applying our background knowledge to
new learning through activating and building on our connections. We have
modeled and students have independently applied this skill through text to
various content areas. For
Writer’s Workshop we
will work on finishing up our personal narratives. We will also work on the
structure of writing and how that helps the reader better understand, retain
information, and gain meaning from our writing.
Learning Targets:
Strategies are needed to make meaning of various types of literary genres.
Comprehension strategies are necessary when reading informational or persuasive
text.
Social
Studies
Students have learned that Citizens join a community to live, work and play. We have
compared and contrasted Parker and how it has changed overtime. Being a responsible citizen,
students will add to their background knowledge, to analyze and take action on how
to become a positive influence within our community through making a difference
projects. For a better understanding of this we have
implemented "Peace Fridays". On Fridays we will be exploring the
lives of Nobel Laureates through literacy, geography, history & civics. In
addition to using our thinking strategies while reading about the laureate's
childhood stories, we will also be analyzing the characteristics of effective
citizenship, learning about locations around the globe where the laureates live,
as well as comparing and contrasting those communities to our own community
here in Parker. It's truly amazing how "Peace" can weave itself into
every part of our 3rd grade year.
Learning Targets:
Problem Solving: Appraise the interaction between individual and
societal activities.
Resilience and Adaptability: Appraise the interaction between
individual and societal activities.
Collaboration: Evaluate environment influence on sustainability.
Critical Thinking: Create knowledge
through the process of inquiry based on multiple evidence.
