Dear
3rd Grade Parents,
This week in class we’re wrapping up our social
studies unit on geographic landforms. We
have spent three weeks reviewing surfaces such as mountains, rivers, and
prairies, but we will also learned new vocabulary such as a peninsula,
isthmus, and tributary.
For our culminating project (before the test),
students are going to create a 3-D physical map of the United States. This
project, fittingly named Candy Map USA, uses candy, frosting, and sprinkles to
represent the major lakes, rivers, mountains, desserts, and prairies.
We love doing this project every year, but there are
quite a few supplies that we need to purchase out-of-pocket to make it
work. If you’re able to donate $1 or $2 to help cover some of these expenses
it would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you for all you do!
