3rd Grade News
Dear Parents,
We wanted to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude for your guidance and support in setting learning goals with your child for the upcoming 3rd trimester.
Your dedication to helping us outline clear and achievable objectives is truly appreciated. Setting these goals not only provides us teachers, students, and parents with a roadmap for success but also instills a sense of purpose and direction in your child’s learning journey.
In mathematics, we are inquiring into the relationships between division and multiplication. We are exploring a range of strategies to strengthen our understanding of division and multiplication. Vocabulary such as split, group, divide, evenly, each, rows, columns, factors, products, and quotient help us solve word problems. We are also learning about the different mathematical symbols. We encourage you to do a mental math activity with your child. Math is fun!
In Literacy, we are learning about generating bold claims or thesis statements, providing reasons, evidence, and using appropriate transitional phrases and words to scaffold our essay writing. Currently, we are reading books about great women around the world highlighting (character traits) their contributions to society, education, and the world.
Reading is a huge part of our daily endeavor, please ensure that your child reads daily and that they have the right reading materials. We appreciate your support on this. Congratulations, Third Graders for a wonderful Spanish Celebration! We have enjoyed your presentations!
