3rd Grade Newsroom
#JCT3rdGradeExperience
Keep Connected
This link will keep you connected to 3rd Grade news. We will update it every Tuesday, but the link will stay the same. Make sure you check our newsletter out weekly to learn what events are coming up, what we are talking about in class and possible ways for you to help at home.
Agenda
Another tool we will utilize to keep you connected is the School Agenda that is in your child's binder. We are asking that you look at and initial these nightly to see a glimpse of what your child is learning in class and to see if there is any communication from your child's teacher.
A Peek at Third Grade This Week!
Math Workshop
Readers Workshop
Readers Workshop this week will focus on good reading strategies like activating background knowledge. Good readers also ask questions before, during, and after reading. We will practice this in class as well to gain a deeper understanding to texts.
Reading Logs
Students should ideally read 20 minutes nightly but we understand that life is also filled with other out of school activities. Students are required to log 100 minutes weekly. Reading logs will be checked every Tuesday. They should have the minimum of 100 minutes recorded and a parent signature.
Writers Workshop
Spelling Lists came home the beginning of this week. There will be a test on Friday. Unit 2's sound is short o and short e.
