Reading: In reading we learned about literal and non-literal meanings of words. The 3rd graders were given a phrase then had to draw the literal and non-literal meaning of that phrase. The 4th graders learned about similes. They then created a simile portrait about themselves. We will share these on Monday.
Writing: The students finished their research on how their country celebrates Christmas. They then began to do an informative writing about their country. Some of the countries have some very interesting traditions!
Grammar: They learned about abstract and concrete nouns on Monday by watching some fun videos that had a very catchy song! Then on Wednesday they completed a sort with abstract and concrete nouns.
Projects: All the projects are just about complete. The students have worked very hard creating their new state. We will be practicing presenting on Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday they will present their project for the parents.
The students were very excited to receive new dictionaries this week from Rotary. What a great thing the Rotary does every year for 3rd grade students.
** Project presentation will be on Wednesday 12/10 at 2:00 in the cafeteria. Come see all the hard work the students have put in to create their 51st state.
