Welcome to 3rd grade!

September is going to be a very busy month. Please mark the following dates on your calendars: Wed.-Thu., Aug. 30-31: Superintendent’s Conference Days [NO STUDENTS]

In Social Studies, we will study Communities Around the World: Learning About People and Places. We will focus on Geography, the United States and China. In Science, we will learn how scientists ask questions and design experiments to find the answers. Our focus will be the water cycle, electricity, the butterfly life cycle, and plant life. In Math, we’ll look at many ways of solving addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and fractions. In English Language Arts, reading and writing for a variety of genres will be a part of our daily routine, and you will journey through your imagination to create stories and become a great writer.
