Welcome!
By Cindy Ramsey
Welcome to third grade! Third grade is a very exciting and challenging year. We learn so many new things! With your support and teamwork, I hope to help each student have an exciting and enriching year.
Here are some things we learn:
Cursive handwriting: After Christmas we will know all of our cursive letters and be doing most writing assignments in cursive.
Grammar: We will work on writing and punctuating sentences and paragraphs correctly, as well as identifying parts of speech.
We learn addition and subtraction with regrouping, as well as arrays, fractions, multiplication concepts and multiplication tables, adding and subtracting money, and telling time.
Reading is leveled between three levels. We work to help students with comprehension, fluency, spelling, and raising students' lexile levels by moving them from picture books to chapter books.
We integrate math into Science through increasing length, liquid, and solid measurements skills, as well as Life Sciences in the spring.
We learn a lot about communities in Social Studies, as well as safety, our government, and holidays.
Field Trips
After our Christmas program, we will go to see the Nutcracker. In the spring we will go to the Cosmosphere.
