Reading Focus Questions:

We have been working hard learning about what the central message of a book is, and how the details help us to determine the central message. We have incorporated grammar skills throughout our lessons as well, including concrete and abstract nouns, adjectives, and verbs. 


Math- Multiplication Facts

In math, we have spent much time learning about multiplication through equal grouping, and will be looking at arrays and area. Multiplication fact fluency is a large part of learning in third grade. This trimester, our focus is on the 2, 5, and 10 facts. Please begin working with your child on putting these facts to memory during the next few weeks. The year end goal for third grade is to know all multiplication facts 0-10 from memory.


We are fortunate to have our SJPS Foundation, who purchased class sets of flashcards for all 3rd grade classes in SJ. I always like to put the link on here for families in case you would like to purchase a set for at home.
