Grade 3C had another active, inquiry-filled week as we mapped out the human body, investigated non-fiction text features, and strengthened our place value skills!
Unit of Inquiry: Human Body & Healthy Choices
- Organ Mapping Activity: Students worked together to place organ cutouts where they predicted each organ belongs.
- Big Inquiry Questions: We explored how our bodies function by asking: Where do our organs belong? Do any of these organs work together? What are body systems, and what critical jobs do different parts perform?
Literacy: Non-Fiction Text Features
- Began identifying key non-fiction text features (such as headings, diagrams, captions, and glossaries).
- Learned how these visual tools help us navigate text, locate specific facts quickly, and deepen our reading comprehension.
Mathematics: Place Value
- Continued exploring how numbers are represented using standard form, expanded form, word form, and base-ten blocks.
- Deepened our understanding of number structures and the precise value of digits within multi-digit numbers.
Classroom Community & PYP Skills
- Classroom Responsibilities: Continued with our official student job roles to build ownership and shared responsibility in our space.
- Social-Emotional Regulation: Focused on mindful transitions between tasks and maintaining active listening during carpet time.
- Self-Management: Practiced staying focused on task goals and using our independent work time wisely.
