Here’s what’s happening in 3rd grade:

Writing: We started making a t-chart of topics we know a lot about and then listed the facts that we know. We will organize our information and begin writing our informational piece. 

Reading: We continue practicing the strategy of making a mental image while we read. We listen to words in the stories and then form a picture in our minds. This helps us understand and comprehend what we read.

Math: We have started our multiplication unit!! This is a big deal in third grade and we are excited. We kicked off our multiplication unit by practicing our 5s count-bys with M&Ms! Your child has learned the 5s facts through 12. I encourage you to help your third grader practice the facts at home. Have your son/daughter write out their 5s count-bys. 

Social Studies: We have completed our Geography unit. We will begin switching for Social Studies and Science. Starting on Monday, our class will begin Science with Ms. VanderStel. 

Coming Up: 

Oct. 30   Picture Retakes   Please remember if you are having re-takes done to make sure your student brings their picture booklet back in to hand in to Geskus.  If your child was absent on the first picture day they just need to bring in their envelope with their picture selections and money/check if you are interested in ordering.
