Dear Parents,
We’ve had a wonderful week in Grade 3! The children were full of excitement as we began preparations for our upcoming Fall Festival. One of the highlights of the week was the Fall Festival Booth Making activity — the students thoroughly enjoyed working together to design and create their booths.
A heartfelt thank you to all the parents who have supported us so far, whether through volunteering your time, or helping with materials. Your involvement truly makes a difference and brings our classroom community to life.
We’re looking forward to sharing more updates as the festival approaches!
Warm regards,
Grade 3 Team
Learning Goal
Introductions, Details, Revising and Celebrating, we are moving on to identifying traits in Biographies.
Writers will elaborate with details, adding to their pieces. They will learn to understand that they can do more than simply state a claim, they can talk about it in their own voices. Writers will use other texts to emulate what other authors do and revise their own writing pieces.
Make sure to talk about traits all the time, when talking have them describe in detail the trait and why the character or person you are speaking about personifies that trait.
Learning Goal
Puedo identificar la idea principal y detalles de apoyo de un tema.
Los lectores identifican las ideas principales de cada tema del libro y las ideas de apoyo, logrando escribirlas en su cuaderno.

Learning Goal
Mathematicians will use and explain additive strategies to demostrate an understanding of multiplication, identifying patterns among basic multiplication.
Mathematicians will interpret products of whole numbers. They will solve multiplication story problems with products to 100 involving situations of equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities. They will identify patterns among basic multiplication. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. As well as taking their Unit 2 - Post Assessment.
Repeated addition, skip-counting, Repeated Addition, Skip-Counting and Doubling. 2A - Loops & Groups
Learning Goal
Our young scientists are continuing their Ants unit this week. Students are observing how ants work together as a group to accomplish different tasks. They are learning to collect data, record their observations, and think like real scientists by asking questions and noticing patterns in ant behavior.
Observe ants in your garden, driveway, or local park.
Talk about what they notice — e.g., where the ants are going, what they are carrying, or how they cooperate.
Draw a quick diagram or jot down notes, just like we do in class.
These small activities help students build their observation skills and nurture their natural curiosity about the world around them.
Learning Goal
We will learn to recognize when we are experiencing strong emotions and can use strategies to calm. In this week's lesson, we will practice stopping, thinking, and using calming strategies to “cool off,” so we can act usefully in response to situations that cause strong emotions.
Stop and notice my emotions and how strong they are.
Use calming strategies to regulate my feelings when they are strong.
Identify the difference in how I think, act, and feel before and after using a calming strategy.
Think of a time when you acted impulsively, or without thinking. What would you do differently if it happened today?
