Dear Parents and Students of Third Grade,
We are excited about science this year. This year we will be having students work in a life science journal. We will be using a composition book for this. You will notice it is divided in half. The first half will be for science the second for Social Studies. Unit A will begin August 25th and run through October 16th. This journal will be checked every two weeks on a Friday. Students must complete that objective for that week listed below. They will be graded on what they have completed in their journal for that particular objective. Please use language and terms that your child understands. This project is meant as an extension of science. Please have your child complete it on their own. The concepts will follow our lesson plans online and will follow the main concepts taught in our science book. Students are expected to use correct spelling and complete sentences. We encourage them to find more information on the internet and additional books. The schedule is as follows:Week 1 Due Wednesday September 16th. Choose two livings things (plants or animals) tell how they are alike. Include a picture either drawn, taken with a camera or a magazine picture.
