3rd grade is so much fun!

A Brief descriptions of what we learn in 3rd grade...

LANGUAGE ARTS

^{READING/GRAMMAR: In Language arts we rely on the Wit and Wisdom curriculm along with reading novels (fiction and non-fiction), picture books, and artciles. My goal is to not only meet and master the standards- but help your child's love for books and reading to increase more and more. For more specific details on our common core standards look under the "online resources".}

^{WRITING: Every Wednesday room 20 has "Writing Wednesday". This is a great opportunity for the kids to learn good writing skills through model, practice, peer editing and then production. We have three main writing types narrative, opinion, and Informational writing.}
