3rd Grade News
Dear Third Grade Parents,
Our Third graders are working hard on writing their Information Books. They have been gathering information about their chosen animals and they are also working on the organization of their facts and information. In mathematics, we have just launched Unit 3 which focuses on Rounding Numbers to the nearest 10 and 100. Furthermore, we will continue to practice multiplication and division.
Our third graders will have started their Taking Action Project! For this activity they have taken home their planning sheet to inform you about the materials they will need to work on in school. Please do not hesitate to contact your child’s teacher if you have any questions.
