This Week in 3B

Hello, Families!

Upcoming Tests: Chapter 5 Shurley English--Wednesday, Feb 27; Spanish: Thursday, Feb 28

Upcoming Project Due Dates: History Visual Aid--Friday, March 8


I hope this update finds all of you in good health. Here is what's happening this week in the classroom:

History: This week will begin our Tribe Project, which consists of research, a written report, and a visual aid. The research and report will be completed in class; the visual aid is an at-home project. Your child will receive detailed information in print tomorrow during class. Students will spend the week working with a partner to research their assigned tribe through library books in the classroom. We are sure to learn quite a bit!

Science: We are continuing our study of sound and hearing. We will learn about how intensity and pitch are measured, then we will transition into the human voice and how the ear works. Vocabulary this week includes: decibel, hertz, pharynx, vocal cord, epiglottis, esophagus, trachea, larynx, pinna, outer ear canal, ear drum, hammer, anvil, stirrup, eustachian tube, cochlea, and semi-circular canals.

Language Arts: This week we will read chapters 12 & 13 of The Wise Woman. Our focused literature skill is character traits and how they change over time/ within a text. We will complete chapter 5 in our grammar book, and move on to study interjections and possessive nouns. Riggs words are available through a link on this blog. 

Please email me with any questions and/or concerns.



Yours in Learning,

Ms. Headrick
