Thank you for taking the time to read our third grade blog. Make sure you are checking it weekly for calendar updates, what we are learning, a glimpse at our week in pictures!
What are we learning?
Math
In math, learners will apply their knowledge of addition and subtraction to combine increments of time, as well as find the value of a collection of coins and bills. Learners will use a problem-solving model to solve one and two-step addition and subtraction problems that involve time and money.
Homefun: Reflex math 3 times a week for 15 minutes
Language Arts
In reading, learners will be exploring how figurative language impacts meaning. In writing, learners will begin to add detail (vivid vocabulary, adjectives and adverbs) by focusing on small moments. Learners will take a spelling pretest and receive their new spelling lists. The next spelling test will be Friday, October 27th.
Homefun: Practice spelling words; Spelling Test on Friday, October 27th. Continue to work on the 30 Book Challenge.
