Reading/ Language Arts:

In third grade, we are using a variety of fiction and nonfiction examples from our Journey’s text and novels to incorporate our standards. In the stories from our text, students will determine the central message/main idea of each story. Students will then be able to identify the key ideas (details) to support the main idea. This is a challenging concept and takes repeated practice at school and at home.

Math:  

Our math curriculum is Pearson enVision math 2.0. Students will have access to online materials, resources and games. For the first quarter we will be teaching:

• Topic 1 (Understand Multiplication and Division of Whole Numbers)

• Topic 2 (Multiplication Facts: Use Patterns)

• Topic 3 (Apply Properties: Multiplication Facts for 3, 4, 6, 7, 8)

• Topic 4 (Use Multiplication to Divide: Division Facts)

• Topic 5 (Fluently Multiply and Divide Within 100)

• Topic 6 (Connect Area to Multiplication and Addition)

More information will be sent home with your child at the start of each topic.
