Test preparation and testing has been taking up much of our time lately. All of the children have been working extremely hard on the Smarter Balanced tests. I'm very proud of their effort and concentration. Our testing sessions will continue next week. In math, we've been reviewing and working on several different concepts. We've been working with line plot graphs this week. We've also continued to review geometry concepts. I've shared two photos of our Quadrilateral Quotes. Each student made a trapezoid and a parallelogram then made speech bubbles explaining the properties of each shape. Another topic we've been working on is area and perimeter. I've discovered a free website. The link is http://www.ixl.com/math/grade-3. There are practice activities for every 3rd grade math concept. During our writing block, we've continued to work on opinion writing and persuasive writing. As part of this unit, the students are working in groups to write a commercial for a cereal that they will think up. To kick off the project, partners circulated around the room examining cereal boxes and taking notes about the persuasive techniques used to convince people to purchase that cereal. Then, small groups created their own cereal brand and started to think of how they would persuade people to buy it. The groups have started drafting the scripts for their commercials. They will be creating cereal boxes and presenting their commercials to the class.
