3rd Grade Power Passes
Power passes allow students who earn them special privileges at school. Some privileges include being first to go out to recess, being first to line up for lunch, bringing special (approved) items to school, and more. This is a positive incentive to encourage students to meet expectations!

This nine weeks your students will explore numbers within 100,000. Students will understand that digits have different values based on their placement within a number. They will develop number sense by using pictorial models to compose and decompose numbers. Students will be able to describe and compare numbers using place value, skip counting and begin working with estimation and compatible numbers.
BUILDING A READING LIFE:
Our unit focus in reading will be getting to know characters in our fiction stories, learning about making predictions, and identifying the theme in our books. We will study the characteristics of fiction books to help us learn the way stories typically go.
This week, we are finding cozy spots with our books and reader's response notebooks to enjoy reading time. We made reading goals last week, so we are practicing our strategies and skills to help us meet our goals.
CRAFTING TRUE STORIES:
Our unit focus in writing will be noticing ideas for stories from their everyday lives. We will draft personal narratives based on small moments in their lives.
This week, we are continuing practicing the writing process. We are brainstorming special moments and "writing up a storm" with our drafts. We made revising and editing goals last week, so after drafting, we will be practicing wrtitings strategies and skills to help us meet our goals.
LAUNCH UNIT:
Our pattern for the next 2 weeks are prefixes un- and re-. Students will have their first spelling check this Friday! We have challenged them to spell at LEAST 50 total words correct for this 9 weeks!
In this 3rd grade science unit we will learn how decisions can be made about objects and changing objects based on their physical properties. We will also conduct scientific inquiry using process skills to find and answer interesting questions. Through this, students will have a better understanding of how the world around them works!
