Quarter 2 Week 2

 

Quarter 2, Week 2 in Third Grade!

We are looking forward to another wonderful week in third grade! Last week, we had a fabulous Character Dress Up Day, sharing stories and enjoying the creativity of our scholars. This week, we are excited to show our City-State spirit at Field Day on Thursday, begin a new literary adventure, and continue building on the skills we have developed this year.

Field Day: Thursday, October 29th

Our Third and Fourth Grade Field Day will take place this Thursday! We look forward to a fun-filled day of friendly competition, teamwork, and City-State spirit.

Academic Updates

Literature: We will begin reading The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis this week! Please make sure your scholar brings their copy of the book to school each day. If you have not yet purchased a copy, please see the link on our blog for the correct ISBN number so your scholar has the same edition we will be using in class. We are excited to begin our journey into Narnia together!

Math: We will continue our unit on multiplication and division, strengthening our understanding of how these operations are related and practicing strategies to solve problems accurately and efficiently.

Grammar/Writing: We will continue learning how to write R.A.C.E.S. responses. Scholars are practicing how to restate the question, answer in detail, cite evidence from the text, explain their evidence, and sum up their response.

History: We will continue our unit on Ancient Rome, exploring its history, culture, and lasting influence on the world.

New Poem: The First Thanksgiving of All

We will begin practicing our new poem, The First Thanksgiving of All by Nancy Byrd Turner. Scholars will work on memorization and expressive recitation in class. The poem will be due on Friday, November 20th, just before Thanksgiving Break.

We are looking forward to another joyful and productive week together as we continue growing in knowledge, responsibility, and perseverance.
