Hello third grade families! Our class is making a big splash and off to a great start. With the help of your child’s art projects, our classroom has been turned into an under the sea adventure. We are looking forward to even more fun projects and activities as the fall season begins. Coming soon will be information about our fall field trip to Wayne’s Country Market.

In Reading we will continue to explore different types of literature. Already we have read fantasy, fiction, and mystery. This month we will continue to read new genres and will focus on retelling important characteristics of a story such as characters, setting, and plot. As we read we will discover how to decode unfamiliar words by reading ahead and using context clues. Watch as your child’s vocabulary continues to grow!

In Math we are concluding our unit on place value and are headed into measurement and geometry. The third grade will learn all about different types of quadrilaterals and types of lines. We will continue to practice several strategies for adding and subtracting.

Our new Social Studies unit has turned the third grade into geographers. We are excited to learn about our land and natural resources and have taken an interest in recycling. Next, we will research America’s early communities by learning what life was like for the Native American tribes.

Lastly, the Reading Ohio Achievement Test is scheduled for the end of October. As we prepare in the classroom your can also prepare your students at home by visiting []. || == Events/Homework ==
