Mrs. Bourque's Class     Room 306

Math:  Please study addition, subtraction, and multiplication at home.  We are still reviewing rounding...please practice to the nearest ten & hundred.  We have studied geometric, 3-D shapes such as the rectangular prism, sphere, triangular prism, cylinder, and cube.  We have studied  measurement....please review 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 inch.  We are learning how to do division by recognizing the fact family.  (How many members in a fact family?  4!!)  All of these concepts will be tested on TAKS...please take any opportunity to point out math at home!  

It is important that your child take their time on their homework and always do their best!! :)

Reading/LA/Spelling:  February is Black History Month.  We have been reading about famous Black Americans and the contributions they have made.  We made a life size double bubble map in the 3rd grade lower pod hallway.  We used this to practice compare/contrast, facts, details, as well as fact/opinion.  Students worked VERY hard on this....if you have a chance, please come by and take a look!  We have learned many facts and several new words....ask your student about the word "boycott".  

*Spelling word list & study tools/games are available at www.spellingcity.com

Social Studies: We are studying Map Skills....we are learning all about the parts of a          
map and how maps are used.  Look around and see what kind of maps you can find at home!  

Science: We completed a study of speed, motion, and position.  Last week, we started a new unit about the Sun and Solar System.  Ask your child to tell you about sunspots and coronas!!
