This week in Third Grade...

In Natural Science, we´re looking at the animal kingdom.  The children are learning about vertebrates and invertebrates and how to classify the animals within these subcategories.  Here´s a short video to help your kids study:

In Social Science, we´re finishing up the unit on maps and how to read them.  Practice finding coordinates at home with this latitude/longitude game: http://www.kidsgeo.com/geography-games/latitude-longitude-map-game.php

In English, we are learning about chores.  How do your kids help at home? You can practice their new vocabulary by including them in everyday routines!

Web Resources to practise the Latitude and Longitude

Hi everybody!

We are working a very difficult topic in 3EP: latitude and longitude.

We know it is difficult. That's why we suggest our students to play online games.
Here are some useful web resources to practise these concepts:

We hope these links will help them studying.
