THIRD GRADE INSTRUCTIONAL COLLECTION COBB SCHOOLS | APRIL 27-MAY 1 | 2020 514 Glover Street Marietta, GA 30060 Telephone: (770) 426-3300 www.cobbk12.org One Team, One Goal: Student Success Dear Cobb County Families, In an effort to support learning continuity, during our extended time away from school, the Cobb County School District has created Instructional Resource Collections for our Kindergarten through 8th Grade students. The enclosed resources provide developmentally appropriate, standards-based activities for students to work on at home. Your student is not required to complete every activity in the packet. However, these resources do support a learning experience that is tied to the academic standards of your child’s grade level. Additionally, there are informational resources that will provide opportunities and support for you, as you continue to support your child in the learning process. Thank you for your continued partnership. We are eager to welcome our students back to school soon. Regards, The Cobb County School District BOARD OF EDUCATION Brad Wheeler, Chair • David Banks, Vice Chair David Chastain • Charisse Davis • Jaha Howard • David Morgan • Randy Scamihorn SUPERINTENDENT Chris Ragsdale Learning at Home Activities for Grades 3-5 Reading/Writing Read Outside Grab a few books and head outside. Read independently or read with a parent, friend, or family member for 20 minutes. Inference Riddles Choose an object that you see outside and create a riddle describing the object without actually naming it. For example: Children sit on me to play. I have a seat and two chains on each side. What am I? (a swing). Create at least 3 riddles about 3 different objects. Share your riddles with a parent, friend, or family member to see if they can determine what object is being described. Write a Letter Write a letter to someone you haven’t seen in a long time. Writing with your Senses Go outside and write what you see, hear, feel, and smell. Then, write a personal narrative or fictional story that takes place in the same area you just explored. Incorporate the sensory details into your writing. Reflection Read a story or article that looks interesting to you. Respond to what you have read in a creative way (poem, create a song, draw a picture, etc.) and share with a parent, friend, or family member. Figurative Language While watching a TV show of your choice, listen for the use of figurative language (simile, metaphor, personification, etc.). Write down the examples you hear. Math Scavenger Hunt Go for a walk (inside or outside) and identify each of the following: an item about 1 foot long, two parallel lines, a right triangle, a cube-shaped object, an octagon, and a cylinder-shaped object. Create a Test Create a math test over something you have learned this year. Have your parent, friend, and/or family member complete it. Don’t forget to create an answer key so you can grade the test when they finish. Math Snacks As you have a snack, think of 3 multiplication and/or division problems you can make by grouping some of the snack items together or dividing them into parts. Write down the number sentences (2x3=6) as you munch away. Create a Game Use dice or playing cards to create a math game using addition, subtraction, multiplication and/or division. Fractions Identify 3 examples of how fractions are used in everyday life. Share your examples with a parent, friend, or family member. Challenge them to share 2 additional examples of how they use fractions in everyday life.
