Third Grade

emergency closure Folder info

Dear Third Grade Students and Parents,

In the event of extended school closure, the third grade team has created a folder of pencil and paper learning activities to help the children maintain their academic skills. Each activity will reinforce previously taught skills and/or currently taught skills. We understand that all children have different learning styles, interests, and abilities, so we have provided many options for activities. Please do not feel obligated to complete everything in the folder. We want to make sure the children are keeping up with their skills, but we DO NOT want the children to feel overwhelmed. We suggest choosing at least one reading, writing, and math activity each day. Reading logs have been provided, and we are encouraging students to continue reading daily. Below, you will find additional resources for online practice options if you feel that activity for your student is appropriate.

Thank you,

Mrs. DiMartini, Mr. Griffith, Mrs. Kast, Mrs. Kerper, and Mrs. Outland

Estimados estudiantes y padres de tercer grado,

           En caso de cierre prolongado de la escuela, el equipo de tercer grado ha creado una carpeta de actividades de aprendizaje con lápiz y papel para ayudar a los niños a mantener sus habilidades académicas. Cada actividad reforzará las habilidades enseñadas previamente y / o las habilidades enseñadas actualmente. Entendemos que todos los niños tienen diferentes estilos de aprendizaje, intereses y habilidades, por lo que hemos proporcionado muchas opciones para actividades. No se sienta obligado a completar todo en la carpeta. Queremos asegurarnos de que los niños estén al día con sus habilidades, pero NO queremos que los niños se sientan abrumados. Sugerimos elegir al menos una actividad de lectura, escritura y matemáticas cada día. Se han proporcionado registros de lectura, y estamos alentando a los estudiantes a continuar leyendo diariamente. A continuación, encontrará recursos adicionales para las opciones de práctica en línea si considera que la actividad para su estudiante es apropiada.

Gracias,

Sra. DiMartini, Sr. Griffith, Sra. Kast, Sra. Kerper y Sra. Outland

MUSIC SPECIAL

Activity 1: Design and create a musical instrument of your own using found materials (boxes, rubber bands, balloons, etc.) which would normally be discarded into your recycle bin or trash. Find a way to personalize it by decorating it with crayon or stickers! There are some great online resources for making your own instruments at home if your search under “DIY Instruments.”

Activity 2: Explore making musical sounds with your instrument! Depending on which instrument you chose to make, some may be able to make both high and low sounds. These are called pitched instruments. Others, such as certain drums or shakers, will only produce one sound. These are called non-pitched instruments.

On a sheet of paper, please answer the following questions:

1. What is the name of the instrument you created?2. How is a sound made with the instrument? (shaking, plucking, striking, etc.)3. Would your instrument be a pitched or non-pitched instrument?4. Write a brief description of the sound it makes. You may use words such as popping, twangy, shaky, deep, breathy, and so on.

Please bring your paper to music class when we return to school so we can discuss your projects in class!


Activity 3: If you have access to any movies at home, listen to one of the songs from the soundtrack as you view the scene. We have discussed many important elements of music throughout the school year such as: Timbre (the unique sound of each instrument or voice), Dynamics (loud and soft volumes), Rhythm (fast or slow speed of the music as well as long or short notes), Pitch (highness or lowness of sound), Texture (how thick or thin the sound is - many instruments/voices or only one or just a few), and Form (the overall "shape" of the music - does it include repetition or a lot of changes?). As you listen and view, think about how the music supports the scene which is taking place. Is there a lot of action involved? Does it help to display an emotion such as love, helplessness, or sorrow? Which of these elements of music help to contribute to the scene? Write down some ways in which these elements were used and think about how the scene would have felt a lot different if these were changed. Would a bright and clear trumpet have created the same effect as a smooth and airy flute given the sounds that they each produce?
