English Language Arts

In third grade we will use an anchor text for 2 weeks. In the first week, students will use the text to build vocabulary knowledge as well as utilize comprehension strategies to understand the text. Both vocabulary knowledge and understanding of the text will be assessed on the first Friday. The second week will focus on grammar and writing skills. Individualized spelling/sight words and grammar will be assessed on the second Friday of our story. In addition, students will explore phonetic patterns each week for morning work. Please note that this week’s vocabulary words are listed in the graphic below.

Weekly Reading Assignment

Part of being in the upper elementary is getting more responsibilities. So, students will be having “Homework”. This typically will be a short story with five multiple choice questions. It may vary down the road. Please feel free to review and/or assist your child with this assignment. If you could stress “looking back” as one of the strategies to help your child, that would be great!

Thank you in advance for your help!

Weekly Reading Assignment (New Kitten) due 10/27

Math

Please remember that mastery of multiplication and division facts is the goal for the end of third grade. The report card will be marked accordingly. Students should be completing a session of ReflexMath daily. We try to fit it in during the school day, but this is not always possible. Please remind your child after school in case it hasn’t been completed yet for the day. So far, here are the classroom stats:

Chromebook Policy

Please understand that we continue to have a district policy of educational use only with the district chromebooks. It seems that there is both student and parent use of the devices that is not solely for the purpose of school business. Please note that usage of chromebooks is monitored through our district filters, and we may be notified of any issues. Thank you for your help on this!

Halloween Festivities

On Friday, October 28th, the third graders will be enjoying Halloween with possible activities such as watching a short movie, making a craft, and reading/listening to stories. We also felt that a festive treat would be a great addition. If you are able to provide any of the requested items, please sign up below. Please send any donated items to school the day before our celebration. If you are unable to click on a particular item, the item may no longer be needed. Many thanks to those who have already signed up to send in a donation.

Your child may choose to bring in a packed treat, but this is not required. Each class has 27 students.

Please also remember that students should wear costumes to school. (Please no weapon props or masks.) Our costume parade will take place outside (pending weather) at 10:00am. Please be ready with your cameras during the parade and after school. Parents will not be entering the classroom throughout the day. Thanks so much for your cooperation!
