Third Grade

This unit focuses on understanding the operations of addition and subtraction, and adding and subtracting fluently. Students add multiples of 10 and 100 to, and subtract them from, 3-digit numbers. They use multiples of 100 as landmarks as they solve addition and subtraction problems with 3-digit numbers, including problems that involve liquid volume and mass. Students share, discuss, and compare different strategies for addition and subtraction.

Our third and fourth graders have been diving into story structure by exploring the concept of Plot Mountain! They've been identifying key elements like the introduction, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution in the stories they read and write. In addition to this, students continue to meet in small groups to investigate spelling patterns and build their word knowledge. During writing time, they are working on opinion and persuasive pieces, learning how to clearly express their viewpoints. Students are also continuing to strengthen foundational skills through regular practice in both cursive handwriting and typing.
