Grade 3

Literacy: Literacy includes instruction in phonics, reading, and writing. Students study original texts to increase their fluency and comprehension. We start our day with a whole group mini-lesson learning specific reading strategies. Students then work independently with a book at their reading level or in a small group with their teacher. At the end, we come back together to reflect and share.

Students are learning about the writing process of brainstorming, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing.

Third grade students use hands-on materials to explore Math.  They practice using language to talk about their thinking.  Students are given daily opportunities to collaborate with their peers to explore, talk and think together.

In third grade, your child will learn:

• Multiplication and division within 100.
• Understand the relationship between multiplication and division.
• Word problems involving four operations.
• Fraction concepts.
• Time.
• Understanding graphs.
• Understand perimeter.

Social Studies and Science: These subjects are integrated into our daily units of study.

Specialist: In third grade, we experience time with our specialist teachers on a daily rotation.  These specialists include Music and Science.

We enjoy incorporating the arts into all aspects of learning.
