This Week in 3B

Hello, Families!

Upcoming Tests: 

Thursday, Feb 7: Grammar, Chapter 4
Friday, Feb 8: Science

Both tests will have study guides sent home this week. Neither test will have a study session.

In History, we are transitioning to studying the Ancient Americans. This week, we will work to gain historical perspective of how long humans have been existence as compared to the planet. In this study, we will learn about the first fossil evidence of life. We will discuss the Bering land bridge and learn about why/how humans crossed over this large area and unknowingly colonized a new continent. 

In Language Arts, we will learn about the skill sequencing as related to our text The Wise Woman. We will also practice this skill in groups. Riggs words are available online. In grammar, we will practice classifying sentences and differentiating between types of sentences. We will also continue to practice subject pronouns and conjunctions. At the end of this week, we will begin learning about persuasive writing.

In Science, we will continue to study the eye and color. We will wrap up our study of color and come to understand that what is perceived as color is what is reflected by the object. We will study lenses and how they work and will review learned concepts.

We are in need of pencils in the classroom! If possible, please send pencils along with your child so that we can re-stock. 

As always, please email me with any questions. 

Yours In Learning,

Ms. Headrick
