This week we will begin fractions and on Friday we will start Geometric shapes. Our Math ISAT is on Thursday, April 29th. We still need to cover measurement and review computation and rounding. We are going to do great. Keep up the wonderful work.
Social Studies:
The students will study about reasons foriegners come to the United States to live and start families. The students are also working on PowerPoint presentations of their experience in third grade this year.
**Question of the Week: When you find the median of a group of numbers, you need to put the numbers in order first. This was a question on our math test. Most students knew how to find the median--but forgot to put the numbers in order first. Let's try it for the question of the week.....here are the numbers. Remember put the numbers in order first!!!!!
2, 5, 6, 6, 1, 3, 4, 9, 2
Good Luck!!
