Practice multiplication/division facts
read out loud together
build with legos or toss a ball around with each other
play cards or board games
What We're Doing Now:
Welcome to Third Grade! I am so excited to get to know each and every family! We are going to have such a great year!
Math- We will start with addition and subtraction review and go deeper into regrouping, rounding and estimating. Then we will tackle multiplication! Science- We will study weather, life cycles and heredity and traits. English- We start with sentences and nouns and verbs. Social Studies-- We are starting our unit on urban, suburban and rural communities. Reading: Each week, we will discuss a different genre, and this year, we are focusing on comprehension skills to help us in all subject areas. Religion- We start with scripture stories and learn ways to show that our church is one, meaning all Catholics across the world share the same beliefs.
