Week of December 14th
The 6 Minute Solution (Fluency Program)
This program is up and running and
students are already showing growth as
they read, check, and chart their progress.
Students are excited to see how their bar
graphs climb across the page with each
read. It is a great way to build reading
fluency and comprehension.
Last week we continued to work on strategies for building fluency
with our multiplication facts 1-10. We also learned 3 strategies
to help us multiply multiples of 10, 100, and even 1,000! This
week we will review division and multi-step word problems.
Literacy:
*I can recount stories, including fables, folktales,
and myths. (3.RL.2a)
* I can determine the central message, lesson, or moral from a
story. (3.RL.2b)
Last week we had fun acting out folktales and identifying the
message/ lesson/morale the author was trying to convey. We
also had fun writing our Elf stories and creating a toy.
Science:
*I can compare Earth’s saltwater and freshwater features
(including oceans, seas, rivers, lakes, ponds, streams, and
glaciers). (3.E.2.1)
