We plan to finish all letters, upper and lower case, by March. Techniques we are working on include slanting, spacing, and letter formation. The first chapters are a review of basic addition, subtraction, and graphing skills from second grade. We are very excited and enthusiastic about this series. An overview of the curriculum was included in your Open House packet.
Third grade is a very transitional year for students.
During third grade all students will have more responsibilities than they have had in the past. However, since responsibility of homework is new to most of our students, the third grade team will be guiding students through their assignments very carefully. In most cases, there is a time to start assignments so that students are sure to know what they are doing. Daily Homework - 15 minutes of reading, studying basic facts and spelling words. Monthly Homework - Set book goals, complete a list of books read, and complete one book report.
