New Poem – The Crocodile

This week we begin memorizing a new poem, The Crocodile by Lewis Carroll. Students will be practicing in class, and we encourage practice at home as well.

The Crocodile
By Lewis Carroll

How doth the little crocodile
Improve his shining tail,
And pour the waters of the Nile
On every golden scale!

How cheerfully he seems to grin,
How neatly spreads his claws,
And welcomes little fishes in,
With gently smiling jaws!

We’re looking forward to a joyful and productive week together!

Warmly,

Welcome to Week Six of Third Grade

 We are excited for another week of learning and growth together. Here are some important reminders for the week ahead:

Poem Recitation – Friday, September 19th 

Students will be reciting By Myself by Eloise Greenfield this Friday. Please encourage your child to practice at home so they feel prepared and confident.

By Myself

by Eloise Greenfield 

When I’m by myself
And I close my eyes
I’m a twin
I’m a dimple in a chin
I’m a room full of toys
I’m a squeaky noise
I’m a gospel song
I’m a gong
I’m a leaf turning red
I’m a loaf of brown bread
I’m a whatever I want to be
An anything I care to be
And when I open my eyes
What I care to be
Is me

Math Test – Friday, September 19th 

We will have our first math test on addition and subtraction this Friday. Please note that rounding and estimation will not be included on this test.

Welcome to Week Four of Third Grade!

We hope you all enjoyed the long weekend with your families! Because of the shortened week, graded work folders will go home tomorrow (Wednesday).

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Meet the Teacher last week! It was such a joy to connect with you and share more about the exciting year ahead. If you were unable to attend, you can view the presentation here: Meet the Teacher Presentation.

This week, we have started a new math unit on addition and subtraction. Please take a moment to look over the School-to-Home letter included in your child’s take-home folder. This letter will give you an overview of the unit and ways you can support your child’s learning at home.

We are excited to dive into this new math unit on Addition and Subtraction and continue growing together as a third-grade community!
