Math:  This week we have been talking about chance and probability.  We also have been doing problem solving involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. 
Reading:   This week we have been learning about the island of Santa Domingo by reading a story called, "Cocoa Ice."  Students learned about the Cacao tree and the fact that chocolate really does grow on trees, so to speak. 
Science/Social Studies:  This week we introduced rocks and minerals.  So far we have discussed the effects of erosion caused by wind, water, and ice. 
Spelling:  Watch for updated lists online.  We will be working on making these words a part of our vocabulary...not just words to memorize for a week.

There are Seven...!

Third graders are required to identify the seven continents and four oceans.  We will be testing on this skill in the near future.  Ask your child about our continent song, There Are Seven!
