3rd Grade News
Dear Parents,
A huge thank you to all the mystery readers. You have made our day special by sharing your stories and treats with our students.
Congratulations to the Book Week committee! It was a huge success and we shall continue to foster love of reading and love of books.
In Literacy, our readers and writers widen their field of focus and see patterns across the texts, books, and articles that they read. The last stretch in this unit focuses on synthesizing, comparing, and contrasting. We dive deep into reading beyond the text. They also start asking questions using “Why, How, and What if.” We strongly encourage our students to read their books daily. At this point in time, we highly recommend reading both fiction and nonfiction books. In Math, the students are exploring the attributes of the different quadrilaterals and the different angles.
Next week, students will be taking the MAP test. The test will be taken on the following dates:
April 29: Math Map Test for 3A
April 30: Math Map Test for 3B
May 2: Math Map Test for 3C
3A, 3B, 3C

Learning Goal
What mathematicians are doing at school...
Mathematicians are about to start module 4 and will be engaged in various activities. During this module, they will have the chance to apply several skills and concepts they learned over the past few weeks. In this module, shapes and area will be combined in the context of fractions. Students will explore different ways to divide the largest square on the geoboard and analyze whether the square is a congruent shape.

Learning Goal
What tigers are doing at school...
We will be wrapping this unit with a culture celebration. The students can come dressed in traditional clothing representing their culture of study. We will also have breakfast around the world and students can bring a dish or snack about their culture of study. They should be able to share this elelment of culture (food) with their peers.
What tigers could be doing at home...
Parents and students will choose a country of study and talk about the food, traditional games, dances, and celebrations.
Social Emotional Learning Program
Learning Goal
We will learn to think of possible solutions to conflict, evaluate ones we think will work best for everyone, and choose a possible solution to try to resolve the conflict. The more we practice solving conflicts, the more we will believe that we can solve them.
What friends and learners are doing at school...
Compromise and respect others’ ideas when resolving conflicts.
Consider potential consequences of solutions before using a solution.
Practice effective approaches to resolving conflict.
What friends and learners could be practicing at home...
If you are willing to compromise and the person you are having the conflict with is unwilling, what could you do to resolve the conflict?
