Using your continent and ocean maps that you colored in Week 1, make a map key of the continents and oceans.


Read How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World.

Make an apple pie or your favorite apple dish. We made apple dumplings.


While apple pie is baking, draw or use pictures to make your own food chain. Don’t forget to include the sun (at the beginning) and decomposers (at the end).


For homework my third graders read p. 76-78 in Our Father’s World and p.306-309 in The Complete Book of Animals.
