Last week we spent a good amount of time going over the rules and making our class our own. This week we are really getting into third grade.

In math we are working on place value. We will be working with numbers up to 10,000. We will be covering standard form, expanded form and word form. Here is an example of each of these forms:
standard form: 539
expanded form: 500 + 30 + 9
word form: Five hundred thirty-nine
Please be there to help your child if they are having any troubles.

In language arts, we are beginning the story The Lost and Found. Our vocabulary words are directions, rumpled, situations, unusual, visible and worried. Our phonics are the short vowel sounds. We are beginning with descriptive writing. We will be working on a paragraph about our classroom.

In grammar we are focusing on complete sentences. The students will be fixing sentences that do not make any sense and creating their own 'incomplete' sentences.

In science we are continuing with plants. Last week we learned what plants need to survive. This week we will be working with the plant's structure. We can't wait to show you what we've done at Open House in a few weeks!
