Third Grade News

The Third Grade students are finishing up their fist unit in Social Studies on Communities. We learned about what a community is, how communities are similar and different across the country and the different types of communities we have. We will continue our focus on communities by starting our first “journey” to learn about communities around the world. We’ll be heading off to Japan and will learn all about their history, culture and land!

We finished up our Personal Narrative Writing with a Publishing Party. All students stood up on the stage and read their story to their classmates. We worked on public speaking skills as well as being a good audience. Of course, a party wouldn’t be complete without treats! Thank you to the parents who helped to provide them.

Our next theme in Reading is focused around Incredible Stories. Be ready to ask your child about some incredible stories that they have read!
