3rd Grade NewsReading- The students have enjoyed our Following Characters into Meaning Unit. The teachers readaloud Winn Dixie, and the students have noticed the changes that happen over time with the charactersin the story. They learned character traits, putting themselves in another persons shoes and charactermotivations.

Next, well start our Nonfiction Unit. Students will be reading nonfiction text for guided reading andindependent reading in class. They will learn about non-fiction text features such as bold headings, boldvocabulary words, captions, diagrams and titles. Also, your childs teacher will read aloud Mr. PoppinsPenguinsso the students can contrast and compare what is fact vs. fictional about penguins. This willallow the students to gain some background knowledge about penguins that will lend itself to theirresearch based writing unit.

Math- The students just finished Unit 2: Measuring line Segments and Perimeters of Figures. They

learned how to use centimeter rulers to measure line segments with specified lengths and to investigatethe properties of rectangles, squares, and parallelograms. They also learned how to calculate theperimeter of quadrilaterals and triangles.

Next, the students will start Unit 4. In this unit, students explore symmetry and congruency and buildupon classifying and identifying polygons by their attributes. They will also explore the measure ofangles. Also, the students will complete a brief unit on patterns. They will identify slides, flips, andturns. They will also explore repeating, growing, and shrinking patterns.
