READING

During the month of March, students will listen to, read, and view a variety of texts and media that present them with information about animal survival. A genre focus on nonfiction provides students with opportunities to identify author’s purpose, central idea, and text structure in order to

better understand unfamiliar texts. As students build their vocabulary and synthesize topic knowledge,

they will learn more about the way animals utilize behaviors and characteristics, or traits, to help them survive.

WRITING

In March, we will be learning the following in grammar:

Adjectives and Articles
Words used to compare
Helping verb/ The Verb be

We'll continue working on responding to prompts using the RACE strategy. Students are working on responding using an extended constructed response and a short constructed response.

MATH

In the month of March students will be completing Data Analysis Unit which covers types of graphs as well as solving problems involving graphs. For the rest of the month students will be learning about Measurement. In this Measurement Unit, students will be exploring time intervals, volume, and weight. Students will be determining what measurements are appropriate for certain situations and which tools to use.

SCIENCE

March will be a fun month of learning for your third grader in science! We will be learning about one of their favorite topics; animals!! We will be exploring animal ecosystems and food chains. We will be learning what animals do to meet their needs when items in their food chain are scarce or hard to find. Your third grader will have a wonderful month of learning in science!

SOCIAL STUDIES

During the month of March, for Social Studies, students will be learning about how the United States, after becoming a nation, started growing. New ways to travel and communicate were invented, the conquest of the West looking for land and new homes, and new ideas were flourishing all over our country. Students will also learn about important individuals who contributed to this growing nation.
