Let's Explore Third Grade Through Books!
This year we will continue to develop our reading skills while working on our units of study which will include:
*Building a Reading Life
*Reading to Learn: Grasping Main Ideas and Text Structures
*Mystery: Foundational Skills in Disguise
*Character Studies
*Research: Elephants, Penguins, and Frogs, Oh My!
We will be working hard in small group studies, independent reading, teacher & student conferencing and whole group studies.
Our goal is to build up our reading stamina and to be able to retell and recall characters, settings, main idea, themes, and much more.
"Reading just twenty minutes per day builds empathy for others, creates a strong vocabulary, and positively affects and boosts your mental and physical health." Please be sure to have your child read for at least 20 minutes every day. (In addition to reading that is done in school).
