How can the impact of weather-related hazards be reduced? How do organisms vary in their traits? How are plants, animals, and environments of the past similar or different from current plants, animals, and environments? What happens to organisms when their environment changes? How do equal and unequal forces on an object affect the object? How can magnets be used?\u201d Third grade performance expectations include PS2, LS1, LS2, LS3, LS4, ESS2, and ESS3 Disciplinary Core Ideas from the NRC Framework. Students are able to organize and use data to describe typical weather conditions expected during a particular season. By applying their understanding of weather-related hazards, students are able to make a claim about the merit of a design solution that reduces the impacts of such hazards. Students are expected to develop an understanding of the similarities and differences of organisms\u2019 life cycles. An understanding that organisms have different inherited traits, and that the environment can also affect the traits that an organism develops, is acquired by students at this level. In addition, students are able to construct an explanation using evidence for how the variations in characteristics among individuals of the same species may provide advantages in surviving, finding mates, and reproducing. Students are expected to develop an understanding of types of organisms that lived long ago and also about the nature of their environments. Third graders are expected to develop an understanding of the idea that when the environment changes some organisms survive and reproduce, some move to new locations, some move into the transformed environment, and some die. Students are able to determine the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object and the cause and effect relationships of electric or magnetic interactions between two objects not in contact with each other. They are then able to apply their understanding of magnetic interactions to define a simple design problem that can be solved with magnets. The crosscutting concepts of patterns; cause and effect; scale, proportion, and quantity; systems and system models; interdependence of science, engineering, and technology; and influence of engineering, technology, and science on society and the natural world are called out as organizing concepts for these disciplinary core ideas. In the third grade performance expectations, students are expected to demonstrate grade-appropriate proficiency in asking questions and defining problems; developing and using models, planning and carrying out investigations, analyzing and interpreting data, constructing explanations and designing solutions, engaging in argument from evidence, and obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information. Students are expected to use these practices to demonstrate understanding of the core ideas.<\/p>\n<h1>Social Studies<\/h1>\n<p><strong>Student Books can be found on Google Classroom on the left side of the Stream tab in the Class Drive Folder.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We are using Atlas Rubicon for our\u00a0 social studies lessons.\u00a0 If you would like to review the curriculum or your student misses a lesson and you need to catch up at home, here is the link to the lessons.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Science\" href=\"https:\/\/oaklandk12-public.rubiconatlas.org\/Atlas\/Search\/View\/Default?BackLink=Atlas_Search_View_Default&amp;DoSubmit=1&amp;SearchCurriculum=1&amp;FilterGrades[]=6&amp;FilterSubjects[]=38&amp;Page=1\">https:\/\/oaklandk12-public.rubiconatlas.org\/Atlas\/Search\/View\/Default?BackLink=Atlas_Search_View_Default&amp;DoSubmit=1&amp;SearchCurriculum=1&amp;FilterGrades[]=6&amp;FilterSubjects[]=38&amp;Page=1<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"textLayer\">\n<div>\u0018\u0018<\/div>\n<div><strong>Michigan Studies\u00a0 &#8211; Grade Three &#8211; Overview<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>Third grade students explore the social studies disciplines of history, geography, civics and government, and economics through the context of Michigan studies. Building on prior social studies knowledge and applying new concepts of each social studies discipline to the increasingly complex social environment of their state, the third grade content expectations prepare students for more sophisticated studies of their country and world in later grades.<\/div>\n<div><strong>History<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>In third grade, students refine their abilities to think like a historian by identifying the types of questions that historians ask. Building upon experiences of timeline construction, students sequence early periods of Michigan history from exploration through attaining statehood. The expectations move students from examining a variety of simple sources to understanding how historians use both primary and secondary sources to learn about the past. Students use both types of sources as they explore the early history of Michigan, providing a rich connection<\/div>\n<div>to the English language arts. Through traditional stories, students learn about the beliefs of American Indians. They compare how American Indians and settlers interacted with their environment through informational text. The skill of constructing historical narratives is developed using the context of daily life in the early settlements. The expectations build on students\u2019 sense of chronology by requiring students to describe causal relationships among<\/div>\n<div>events. These foundational understandings prepare students for more sophisticated writing and analyses as they prepare to study United States history in subsequent grades.<\/div>\n<div><strong>Geography<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>Third grade students draw upon prior knowledge to create more complex understandings of geographic concepts using the context of Michigan. They further develop spatial awareness through the use of more complex maps of Michigan. Students refine the concept of regions as they explore different ways Michigan can be divided into regions and learn about the different geographic regions to which Michigan belongs. Building upon their knowledge of human<\/div>\n<div>systems, students investigate current economic activities in Michigan and explore factors that influence the location of these economic activities. The expectations also extend the geographic theme of movement as students describe current movements of goods, people, jobs, or information to, from, or within Michigan, and investigate the reasons for the movements. In addressing human-environment interactions, the expectations integrate history as students apply their knowledge of how people adapt to, use, and modify the environment to the more complex social environment of their state. More sophisticated understandings are also created as students locate different natural resources in Michigan and analyze the consequences of their use. These foundations prepare students for a more elaborate understanding of geography as they examine their country and world in subsequent grades.<\/div>\n<div><strong>Civics and Government<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>In extending students\u2019 civic perspective beyond the family, neighborhood, and community to the state, the third grade content expectations prepare students for their role as responsible and informed citizens of Michigan. Building upon their knowledge of government of the local community, students distinguish the roles of state government from local government. Using the context of state government, students examine the concept of separation of powers by exploring the powers of each branch of state government. By examining how the state courts function to resolve conflicts, students deepen their understanding of the rule of law. The idea of representative government is introduced. By focusing on key concepts, such as citizens\u2019 rights and responsibilities, separation of powers, individual rights, rules of law, representative government, and justice, students are prepared for the roles of citizens in our<\/div>\n<div>democratic republic.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Language Arts During the year we will be learning about different genres in Language including poetry, fantasy and myths.
