Module 7: In this module, students will listen, read, and view a variety of texts and media that provide information about building communities. During the last week of school students will participate in various end of the year reading activities.

In writing, students will review the grammar components covered during the school year, starting with adverbs that compare. Students will also continue to work on responding to a text using an Extended Constructed Response and revising and editing sentences.

In Math, we will work on preparing our students for 4th grade by reviewing:

• Multiplication facts (should be memorized by the end of 3rd grade)
• 2 digit by one digit multiplication strategies. Understanding of the area model is fundamental in order to keep on building on this skill.
• Division: Review strategies learned this school year.

May will be a fun month of science for your third grader. We will be exploring life cycles of both plants and animals. The last few weeks of school we will be exploring STEM activities. We will apply our learning throughout the year to various STEM challenges. Science is going to bring wonderful learning opportunities this month!

Students will prepare and review for the CBA # 3 that will take place on May 7th. After that, teachers and students will work together on identifying the topic on which they will develop their Project Based Learning (PBL) activity for the end of the school year.

Our conference time is from 12:40 - 1:20 pm
