Third Grade Update
Wondering what we’ve doing in third grade lately? Here’s a little look:
Language Arts:
We are still using Daily 6-Trait Writing. Hailey is working on organizing thoughts, and how to group similar ideas and details together.
Bible:
I ordered the next Old Testament Overview from Grapevine because Hailey has enjoyed it so much. We are now working on Part 2- Joseph to the Promised Land.
Geography:
We use Daily Geography Practice. It is supposed to be done every day, but we only do it once a week and get everything done in one day because it’s pretty simple. It’s been great for learning how to read maps, but we definitely need to add some more.
Health:
Hailey learned in health how nutrients travel through your body. We used red water and a celery stick to show how nutrients can travel.
The leaves turned all red even though they were never in the water.
Science:
Hailey has been learning about the scientific method, why science is important, and why we do experiments. I’m using this Intro to Science Unit.
Hailey has been practicing using the scientific method by doing some experiments. In this experiment she put 4 different colored M&Ms into a bowl of lukewarm water.
Then we observed:
It’s nice to do some fun, simple experiments while learning the scientific method!
So, there is a little look at just a few of the things Hailey has been working on. I need to remember to take more pictures of what Hailey is working on so I can do third grade posts more often.
