ReadingOur focus in reading this year is on building both fluency and accuracy. As our growing readers become more fluent in what they read, they are able to comprehend more. We will be doing some reader's theater and exploring a wide variety of literature types throughout the year! Some examples include folk tales, fables, myths, as well as non fiction stories and articles.

WritingWe will be doing a ton of writing in Third Grade! We will be writing poetry, narratives, opinion pieces, and informational pieces! At the beginning of the year we will start out with a paragraph at a time and work our way up to 3-5 paragraph essays! We will also be working on our typing skills, with our final drafts being typed into the students' google accounts! It may seem like a lot, but the amount of growth I get to see from the beginning to the end of the year is incredible and I can't wait to share this journey with your student!
