Third Grade Rocks
Folsom ES Dec. 7-11
Math
Over the next two weeks the students will continue to develop all 4 operational (add,sub.,mult.,divide) skills while enhancing problem-solving strategies. The students will interpret multi-step word problems involving multiple operations and identify the processes needed to solve them.
We are continuing our multiplication fact fluency with practice in class as well as 40 minutes per week at home. There will be a fact fluency quiz every Friday over the facts for the week. It is very important that your student is able to recall, with automaticity, all facts up through 10 x 10. Thank you for all your support at home to help your student reach this goal!

Reading-
Students will be working on making inferences, drawing conclusions, and making generalizations. All 3rd graders will become experts at using their schema and text clues to make inferences while they read.
Students will also be comparing themselves to someone who is influential that they know (mom, dad, grandparent, special friend...) to themselves. They have been studying the reason people are chosen for biographies and will use those skills to interview that person.
Grammar-
Students will be learing how prepositions make their writing easier to understand.
Phonics-
Students will continue to compare short vowel patterns to long vowel patterns. They are focusing on long vowels made by the CVCe pattern and the CVVC pattern.
