A Year At Glance
It is my goal to make the third grade year a successful experience for every student and to
provide a strong foundation for their educational future. Therefore I will be implementing the state standards into our curriculum and daily teaching. The following is a brief overview of some of the things that we will cover:
Reading: Reading Process – strategies for decoding unfamiliar
words, reading fluently, learning new vocabulary, and
comprehension.
Writing: The writing process (prewriting, drafting,
revising, editing, and publishing) will be taught with emphasis on five genres:
personal experience narrative, communications, poetry, report, and a story. The
Write From the Beginning Rubric will be used to evaluate the student’s writing.
Math: Patterns, number operations, word problems, measurement, time,
money, place value, graphing, estimation, interpreting data, fractions, and
probability.
Social Studies: Communities, geography/directions, maps,
holidays, civics and government, economics, and world history.
Science:
Inquiry process, life cycles, plant structure, rocks and minerals, and sound.
