ELA Updates
We will start this year really focusing on asking and answering questions in a text; specifically citing evidence to support our answer. We will really work on finding answers directly in the story or passage and learning to underline them. We will use that evidence to answer questions with in complete sentences. This is a huge skill that is very important in third grade and beyond.
Math Updates!
We will begin the year reviewing place value! I think it's always good to make sure students understand numbers conceptually before we go any further. Soon after that, we will begin 3.OA.1 which is the most exciting part of third grade... MULTIPLICATION! We will begin learning the process behind multiplication problems. We will learn strategies such as repeated addition, groups of, and arrays. After this, students will need to begin memorizing their multiplication facts! :) The race is on!
Science/Social Studies Updates!
During the first few weeks of social studies we will be talking about 3.G.1.1 which is all about learning relative and absolute location. Students will be learning to use a map and explain where things are based on relative location (south of the barn) or absolute location (the actual address).
