Happy September! I am very excited about this school year. I have a wonderful class and we are ready to LEARN while we have fun! Reading We are enjoying fractured tales in our first reading theme Oink, Oink, Oink. The stories in this theme are versions of "The Three Little Pigs" that have been fractured to make them funny. We will read other traditional stories that have been retold in a humorous way. We will also create a class book to help us learn more about each other. Math In Unit 1 we will explore patterns on number grids, review telling time, measuring lengths, and using calculators. We will also establish routines that we will use all year to promote an active and cooperative learning environment. Social Studies We will begin our Social Studies unit reviewing Map Skills. Our class will be using these skills throughout the year.

       Our third grade team is excited to report that we have developed a third grade website, on Portaportal to develop technology skills and enhance learning across the curriculum.   With portaportal.com, third graders will be able to log on to the activities that are a reinforcement and extension of our classroom lessons.

            The activities on portaportal.com are interactive and curriculum-based lessons.   Please feel free to explore the Portaportal resources.   These lessons can be accessed from home computers connected to the Internet.
