Our Learning Adventures 
Highlights 
Last week, we had another week full of interesting investigations! In math workshop, we solved
problems involving multiplication and division situations and began investigating efficient ways to
multiply and divide numbers that we are not sure of. Please see my email about multiplication fluency
expectations for third grade that will be headed your way soon. In reading workshop, we investigated
the connection between main idea and key details when reading an informational text. In writing
workshop, we began making our writing sparkle using sensory details and worked hard to make sure
that we are using complete sentences when writing.
Unit of Inquiry 
We dug deep into our Unit of Inquiry this week by exploring how we are parts that came together to
form our own community and how our classroom community is just a little part of the FAVE
community, the Decatur community, and the world. We also began exploring geography and visited the
Rocky and Appalachian mountain ranges via Google Earth and used our visit to create models for each
mountain range.

Questions to Ask Your Child 

● What are the similarities and differences of the Rocky and Appalachian mountain ranges?
