We all tend to “forget” concepts and skills we have “learned” if we have not used them for an extended period of time like summer vacation. We have been reviewing different concepts mastered in second grade to refresh our memory. As we move through Unit 1, second grade “developing” skills are revisited, and some are mastered. The Everyday Math website is linked on the right sidebar for your convenience. Log-in codes will be taped on the inside of your 3rd grader's planner.
We have started off by reading Flat Stanley and are learning many new and interesting vocabulary words. Please remember to send in an address for our Flat Stanley project by Wednesday, September 4. Thanks for your help on this project. (Info tonight at Open House.)
Our first Social Studies unit is on communities, and we will also review geography skills. Included in our Communities unit is a third grade favorite, a study of Historic Macon. We will conclude our Macon unit with a tour of some special places downtown.
Our first science unit is on Soil Science. We took a trek around the campus exploring different kinds of soils visited the Science Lab for a lesson on soil layering. There is a lot to learn about dirt!
