It had to be YOU!  You are the best third grade and you show it in the St. Luke's Way and how you respect those around you.  Keep up the good work and the courtesy you show to others.           

 
Hear Ye!

       Thank you Carol Drought for giving our students extra time!

The third grade students will be using Type to Learn typing tutorial to learn keyboarding skills.  Second semester the students will begin applying word processing skills to their computer knowledge.

                                         Here's what we're working on this six weeks!

 
   


Language Arts

Reading

 

     

     

 

 

We will be reading a chapter book each six weeks. The books we will be reading are integrated with our Science and Social Studies units.  We will spend many fun-filled hours of chapter reading pleasure and in-depth class discussions and studies with book reports and activities on each book.
The AR book for the 5th six weeks is James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl.        

           

Spalding Spelling

 Third Graders will enter and study words in their Spalding notebooks. Spelling Tests are on Friday. 

Each student must take care to sound, write and mark  his Ayers words neatly and accurately into his blue and white Spelling book and into his green Spelling folder.

During homework, students will sound, write and mark Ayers words in Section S.  We will continue at school with rule application and vocabulary development.

English

Spalding Writing:  Utilizes the formatting of Narrative, Informative,  and Informative/Narrative  guidelines for compositions with ongoing editing and revising.

Third Graders will follow the Write on Track series guidelines to coordinate the writing assignments of book reports, presentations, and  poetry in Reading, Social Studies, Science, and Mythology.

To enhance our writing skills, we will be publishing our works in keyboarding and, beginning in January, Third Graders will be  adding word processing classes to their enrichment schedule four times per week!
