The students enjoyed a presentation about the Summer Reading program through the Frederick County Public Library. We encourage students to KEEP READING through the summer, so please consider signing your child up for this fun program.
Practicing math facts for just five minutes a day will help kids enter 4th grade ready to take on math.
Writing
We will finish writing and sharing our Fairy Tales. Also, students will be sharing their memories of Third Grade through our “Countdown” writing
Reading
Students will continue to apply close reading and questioning strategies to both literary and informational texts. Topics will vary, but Summer, and Folk Tales are popular themes. We will use information presented in diverse media and formats for our lessons in order to build comprehension through synthesizing information
Math
Students are working toward mastery of their multiplication and division facts. Please encourage your child to practice, practice, and practice their facts. Mastery indicates that a student scores 90% or higher on a three-minute timed test. The last math unit is on Multiplication and Division and will vary from teacher to teacher.
