Welcome to Our Third Grade Newsletter!
Each month, I’ll be sharing key classroom updates with you—everything from what we’re learning and upcoming events to student highlights and tips for supporting learning at home. My aim is to keep you in the loop and involved, so we can team up to make this school year both enjoyable and successful. Thank you for playing such an important role in our classroom community!
Third Grade October Newsletter
I cannot believe we are already in our second week of school! Happy fall! There are so many exciting new activities taking place.
We are currently analyzing the One Eyed Giant by Mary Pope Osborne. We wonder if Odyseuss will find his way back home.
We will begin Open Court on October 15th.
In Social Studies, we have looked at maps and reviewed important features like countries, map scales, continents, oceans, and compass rose.
In Math, students have been reviewing place value, rounding and adding multidigit numbers.
In Science, students have been learning about environments and why organisms live in certain places.
October dates to look forward to:
No School on October 13th-Columbus Day/Indigenous People’s Day
