Third grade is all about putting together the pieces. We use all the skills we learned in previous grades to show how we can independently find and use information.
We start the year by kicking off the Passport Reading Challenge - a reading club only for 3rd graders. Participants are encouraged to "read around the world" as they use what they know about how libraries are organized. For each of the 5 levels of the challenge, they select 7 different books that somehow connect to each of the continents. The books can be fiction or nonfiction and about ANYTHING... as long at the reader can connect it to a continent. This challenge runs from September through January.
Third Graders get a chance to practice their computer and search skills by learning about our Online Public Access Catalog.
Throughout the year they also dive into poetry writing and various research projects.
Welcome to the 2022-23 school year!
The first couple of weeks of library time will be spent getting to know each other through fun stories and activities.
(Please note: Like every year, library book exchange will not start immediately at the beginning of the year. We will begin book exchange for all students the week of Sept. 19th, after we have time to establish library expectations and review how to care for our books.)
You can keep reading while we wait for book exchange to begin! The Primary School Library owns a growing collection of eBooks that can be accessed anytime from anywhere. Follow the directions below and read on!
