Hello Parents,
I hope you had a wonderful week! We had a great week together in third grade. We learned a lot about the problem with poachers in Africa as we read through two paired text, one called How to Save a Baby Elephant and Can Drones Stop Animal Killers. The students were so intrigued about the risk of extinction that elephants and rhinos are facing due to poaching for ivory. They learned so much and are very passionate about the topic. We used these passages to compare and contrast two texts on the same topic. They did a wonderful job! Ask them what they learned this week.
In math we finished one unit and started our FINAL math unit of the year! I can't believe how fast this year is going. Our final unit will be a little longer, focusing on multi-digit multiplication and division, as well as number stories.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
