Mrs. Struve's Third Grade Classroom
THANK YOU!!!!!
It is hard to believe the end of the year is NEXT WEEK! It really did sneak up on us this year. I wanted to take a moment to say thank you to each of you for all you have done to support your child's learning, and our classroom. Your guidance, encouragement, and communication not only greatly impact your child's learning, but creates a strong classroom community that values learning and each other. I have been truly blessed to share this time with your child, and it has been amazing to watch them grow as scholars and citizens, and take risks to go outside their comfort zone. I am excited to continue to work together with you and your children, and cannot wait to see what they do!

Marvelous Math
We recently finished our unit on geometry and have officially completed all 3rd Grade Common Core Standards for Math. This week we will take the opportunity to engage in some review of key skills needed for 4th grade, and complete some enrichment activities. I have included a link below to 4th grade standards and ixl.com skills for 4th grade. I encourage students to continue to practice their flash cards over the summer, as memorization of multiplication and division facts are vital for deepening their understanding of fractions and decimals in 4th grade.
ELA: End of Year Wrap Up and Summer Reading
This past module we have investigated the deeper meaning of text by identifying the "central message". Students practiced opinion writing by identifying a story which they believed had a stronger central message. We will wrap up this year's ELA with further practice in identifying the main idea of informational text and writing a news report on a natural disaster. I have included a link to next year's standards in case you are interested in what is coming up in 4th grade.
I encourage students to continue to read over the summer, and take advantage of the summer reading program at the Oswego Library and LRC days at Prairie Point. I also LOVE to hear from students about what they are reading over the summer, and welcome emails from them! I will provide students with a packet of "30 Book Challenge Cards" for a summer challenge. Students who turn in 10 books that they read over the summer will receive a special surprise when they return to school! (Larger chapter books count for 2 or 3- I will let you use your best judgement as parents.)
