Welcome to our classroom. Please refer to this site for upcoming events, ongoing practices, activities and helpful links.

Curriculum Overview for Term 1:

Our Reading theme this term is Creative Imaginations. We will also be starting our spelling program, multi-sensory grammar and Daily Oral Language. Students are asked to have a Writer’s Notebook here at school and to add interesting stories and events to it when they have extra time. We will be developing Guided Reading groups this term as well as assigning math tiling and SRA based on skill need. In math we will be reviewing concepts taught in second grade and begin to use this foundation to build on fact extensions, extended place value and elapsed time. We will also be learning the partial sums algorithm and the trade-first subtraction method. Fact memorization is essential in third grade. All students should be drilling facts for a minimum of fifteen minutes each night. Please see my links below for great sites, activities and games to help students accomplish this.
In social studies we are studying map skills and how to effectively read coordinates.
Our science theme this term is Matter and Its Properties. We have a new science program. There are many new components to the program including an on-line text, activities and games related to the unit and on-line assessment. The link below will take you to the site.
I will be sending home two monthly Scholastic book orders with students. They are for two different grade levels so offer a wider variety of options.
