Welcome to 3rd Grade!

We use Math Expressions at VES. Our current unit is Measurement and Data. Look for math homework sheets coming home. Students are expected to be memorizing all multiplication and division facts. This can be done with the flash cards we have sent home, skills sheets, or Xtra Math.

Journeys is our new reading and writing program at VES. Themes, concepts, and spelling words change weekly.

Xtra Math is a program that 3rd grade suggests as a quality website for your child to practice math at home. It monitors progress and moves along with your child's math needs.

Typing Pal is a program that 3rd grade uses to teach keyboarding skills to our students. This program can be used at home as well.

Third graders will also use Renaissance Place for Accelerated Math. This is a way that teachers can differentiate instruction and reinforce skills taught in the classroom.

3rd grade utilizes Scholastic book orders. Ordering books helps to develop your child's love for reading, and also helps to earn free books for your child's classroom!
