We’ve been having a great time in third grade! Our students have been using IReady to practice their reading and math skills through fun online activities. In reading, we’re learning the RACE strategy to help answer questions better: Restate the question, Answer it, Cite evidence from the text, and Explain how the evidence supports the answer. In math, we’re focusing on adding and subtracting 3-digits numbers using standard methods. The kids are doing a fantastic job, and they’re excited to keep learning.

This week in third grade has been full of exciting activities and learning experiences. Here’s a peek into what we’ve been up to:
Our math lessons have been buzzing with energy as we dive into rounding and place value. The students have been mastering how to round numbers to the nearest ten or hundred, and understanding the value of each digit in a number. It’s been wonderful to see their confidence grow as they practice these skills through fun and engaging activities!
In reading, we’ve been reading the story Room to Grow. This book has sparked discussions about community and culture. The students have been sharing their thoughts and ideas about how different communities come together and support each other.
We have been working on IReady diagnostics in math and reading. These assessments give us valuable insights into each student’s strengths and areas for growth, allowing us to provide targeted support and enrichment.
Today was a highlight of the week as we took a field trip to see the musical Mooch The Magnificent. The students were absolutely captivated by the lively music and the engaging performances. The question and answer session that followed the show was a big hit, allowing the kids to interact with the performers and learn more about the production process.
Overall, it’s been a week filled with learning, creativity, and lots of fun. We’re so proud of how our students are growing and can’t wait to see what the next week brings!
