Indian Projects

One of my favorite units of 3rd grade has finally arrived:  Early American Indian tribes- Ch. 3 in Social Studies.  The kids have absolutely loved this chapter, and don't want to give it up! 

These American Indians came from the 4 corners of the U.S. 

They are:

Navajo--Southwest

Yurok---North Coastal California

Cherokee--Southeast

Haudenosaunee--Northern New York and Wisconsin. 

Each student chose their favorite tribe and built their project at home.  Thank you, Parents for participating and helping your child with his/her projects!

They've all learned so much and had a lot of pride in their homes.

Next is Ch. 4...Explorers Arrive

Reading-  We are reading from a tradebook, Strega Nona.  They won't have their own copy, so anything coming home will be what they can do without the book.  Test will be strictly comprehension and will be Wednesday.  Ask them about Strega Nona.  It's a very interesting book!  They have their A.R. chapter books they need to read from nightly--at least 1 chapter.  A.R. test is due this Friday. 

Math- We are beginning rounding this week.  They will begin having a homework worksheet coming home Tue-Thur nights.  Tonight is still too early to have them rounding at home.  Please work with your child Tue-Thur. reinforcing the rounding rules.
