Third Grade Newsletter

English Language Arts

Reading:

Students will choose from a variety of strategies to determine the meaning of unknown words and phrases by listening to read alouds, participating in class discussions, and exploring context clues.

OG:

Students will review key reading and spelling skills they learned in second grade. This helps strengthen their foundation and ensures they’re ready to build on those skills in third grade.

Writing:

Students will gather ideas for future writing in their Writer’s Notebook. They’ll organize their thoughts using tools like a Heart Map, Places that Matter, People that Matter, and Best/Worst Memories to help inspire personal and meaningful writing.

Math

Students will review second grade skills, such as odd and even numbers, place value, addition, subtraction, and how to use a ruler.

Science

Students will use fossils to determine the habitat of an area many years ago.

Social Studies

To begin later in September!

Respect

Students will view a video demonstrating the need for upstanding behavior. Then, they will practice 3 ways to respond when they see or experience bullying—first in a group, then on their own.
