Welcome to the 3rd grade! You are entering an amazing year! 3rd grade will provide you with the opportunity to apply all of the reading skills you've learned and help you to grow into a strong, confident reader. We will build on your reading comprehension skills, learn how to write an essay and build on your math skills. We will be reading science and social studies materials in order to learn about nature, and the world. We will work on developing lifelong skills such as: reading maps, using chromebooks, multiplication and division, and how to organize your materials. We will be doing a lot of fun, hands-on activities that will provide us the benefits of cooperative learning and working with each other. 3rd grade is really exciting, interesting, and challenging. We will work hard and always give our best effort every day, so that we may learn as much as possible. Welcome to a brand new school year!
