In third grade we will be working on grammar, handwriting (print and cursive), phonics, spelling, vocabulary, reading fluency, reading comprehension, sentence structure, paragraph writing, and the writing process. We will meet nine class periods per week.
Week of October 6, 2025- We will take a quiz on our novel Apple and Annie Hamster Duo. We will learn about compound sentences and conjunctions (Grammar Unit 1 Lesson 6). We will edit our outline for our paragraphs and begin a rough draft and final draft. We will discuss vocabulary words from our new novel Cam Jansen and the Back to School Mystery. We will review suffixes. We will learn to read and write words with soft 'c' and soft 'g'. Spelling words: change, fence, space, center, large, since, price, dance, pencil, slice, place, city.
