The Chat with Mrs. Burns's Third Grade
The team from The Chat was wondering, how do books help spark your imagination? They spoke with Melissa Funfsinn, Children's Librarian at the River Forest Public Library to hear her thoughts.
A new episode of The Chat with Mrs. Burns's Third Grade will be published each Saturday! Subscribe to The Chat in Apple Podcasts (iOS) or via Audioboom (Android or other). Identifying character traits and motivations in biographies
As we wrap up our informational reading unit, students worked this week to identify character traits and motivations in biographies. It's important in Grade 3 that students use evidence from the text when discussing or writing about the text. Here is a good example of identifying character traits and motivations:
Presenting our persuasive speeches
We are also wrapping up our persuasive writing unit next week! Students did a great job presenting their work to the class. We still have a few students left to present next week. Please see your child's work on Seesaw! Here is the Opinion Writing checklist students used to check their work.
Tetrominoes and finding area
We are moving from figuring perimeter to finding area. The kids are understanding this concept through hands-on work to start. Students found all possible arrangements of four squares, called tetrominoes, and use flips and turns to prove whether or not one shape is the same as another. They use tetrominoes to cover the area of a 10 by 8 grid. How many tetrominoes are needed to cover the grid?

Simple machines: inclined plane
What is work, and how can humans make it easier? Simple machines, of course! The students built inclined planes and identified a way that an inclined can help humans do work.
