ELA: We will begin our final unit in our frog module on Monday. Students will choose one of four frogs they wish to research further in preparation for creating a "Freaky Frog" trading card. We have already studied the frogs when reading one of core texts, Everything You Need to Know about Frogs and Other Slippery Creatures. We will now read an additional text about the same type of frog to further our research. This will reinforce one of our third grade standards where we compare and contrast two texts focused on the same topic.This will be a great culminating project for our frog experts! It will combine both reading and writing skills.

We also begin to learn cursive writing starting with the basic strokes. Students will eventually bring cursive practice home with them.
Math: This week in math the students will reason about and explain
patterns using units of 0 and 1 as they relate to multiplication and
division. They will identify patterns in
multiplication and division facts using the multiplication table and they will
continue solving two-step word problems involving all four operations and
assess the reasonableness of solutions.
