Welcome to Ms. Schmidt's Third Grade
Homework folders should be brought to school every day. Students should read for 20 minutes each night and record their reading time in their Reading for Success logs. Watch for "Remind" messages and notes and homework sheets coming home in homework folders. Thank you! |
readingThis year third grade will be using the Reading Wonders curriculum during our literacy block. Students will have the opportunity to do Independent Reading at their own reading level, work in a Guided Reading Group with me, practice building oral reading fluency during buddy reading, work on skills/strategies during word work time, and enjoy listening to classic children's literature during our read aloud time. Homework this year will include a "Reading for Success" folder with a requirement of 20 minutes of reading every night at home!

mathThis year we are beginning to use a new math curriculum called Everyday Math. This curriculum closely aligns with the Minnesota Math Standards and includes home practice sheets and games. At home you can practice counting money, telling time, addition, subtraction, and multiplication facts, as well as elapsed time and measurement.

Unit TimeDuring Unit Time we will be focusing on Third Grade Science and Social Studies Standards, as well as, integrating writing during this time. Students will enjoy such things as Earth Space Science activities, Geography and Mapping activities, and Structures of Life when we investigate seeds, plants, and crayfish! Students will be required to complete "Moon Observations" for two months at the beginning of the school year as part of their homework.
