Class Reading Challenge
I am so excited about our class reading challenge. The class is already half way to their first 100 books read. I know they will continue this momentum as they are excited each day to find a new book and start exploring it. The students are so engaged when we conference about the books they have and are able to give insightful comments about their reading.
Multiplication Facts
Students should practice their multiplication facts at home in order to build fact fluency. This fact fluency makes solving more complex multiplication equations easier for students. The first multiplication test will be Friday, Sept. 21, X2 facts.
Current Events
In the past, third grade students have been required to complete one current event a quarter. This year in our class we are going to try something new that will engage the class in discussions about current events. Beginning in October I will introduce our Current Event board to the students as well as the expectations for this activity.

Language Arts

Skills: Main Idea, Theme, Author’s Purpose and Character Traits. We have used several mentor texts to practice these skills. Students will work in small groups to make Book Posters, Students will choose a picture book to display these skills on their book Poster.

Math
Multiplication-Distributive Property of Multiplication and grouping factors.
Social Studies
Students will be creating their own island and a map of their island. Their map will include the features they have learned about in class.
