Guess who's going to 4th grade?

Reading Comprehension

Comprehension happens with more than just reading. You use it when you hear music, see dance, and so much more.

Do you know what the story is?

4th grade summer work

From Mrs. Williams:

Dear Parents,

    I am always excited about getting a new group of students.  It is so rewarding to see the growth they make throughout the year. The following skills are very important to know when the students enter the fourth grade.  The IXL is to be completed with a 100% score.  This is 3^rd grade review.  You have probably done most of the skills.  Re-do them and I can monitor by the dates and times the student has been on IXL.

A look back at 3G 2016-2017!

Thank you all so much for a FABULOUS year!

3G Scholars:
Remember to keep exercising your brain and growing neurons.
Never stop trying; just because you don't know something now, just means you don't know it YET.
Most importantly, once you are my student, you will always be in my heart! Love you all.

Adverbs

These words answer WHEN

Volcanoes in Action

In 3G we have been reading The Magic School Bus Voyage to the Volcano, which takes place in Hawaii, specifically at Kilauea.

It just so happens that Kilauea starting shooting lava and releasing high levels of sulfur gas yesterday. We have learned about this volcano, plumes of smoke, sulfur, and maps (in Social Studies), so we watched news coverage live from Hawaii today and were familiar with what was going on, including the lava flow type.

Reading Comprehension Strategies

Don't forget to read the questions first, and if you own the book, highlight, underline, circle, and make annotations.

We’re tending to out greenhouses daily, making sure there is enough soil, water, and sunlight. Some students have had to make adjustments to their projects, but that’s ok. It’s all part of the learning process.

Mistakes are great teachers!
