3rd Grade humanities
This week learners will begin Smarter Balance Assessment (SBA) testing this week. It is extremely important your learner gets a good night sleep and eats breakfast during testing week. The school will be providing additional snacks but please pack your learner's snack as normal. This will help set them up for success during testing. In addition, learners may bring their own headphones if they'd like. Please label these with their last name. Thanks for all you do!
Additionally, learners will be introduced to their next interdisciplinary project. The highly anticipated food truck project will begin with a gallery walk activity in which learners make observations about a variety of food trucks. Learners will then review the foundations of opinion writing and apply their opinion writing skills to writing a brief persuasive piece about a food truck. Learners will also review descriptive writing as they write about food trucks and their various cuisines using the five senses. This work is in preparation for learners to design their own food truck and ultimately write a persuasive piece about their mobile restaurant. Learners will brainstorm ideas for their own food truck, selecting a type of cuisine, a possible theme, and crafting their food trucks back story. We will also begin reading The Lemonade War as a whole class.
