Mrs. Grandinetti
Dear Parents,
WELCOME to Third Grade. Here are some of the highlights to remember throughout the year.
I will update our 3rd-grade families with announcements and homework for the week. The SPECIALS Class Schedule, as well as the Reading Wonders Unit Spelling Word and Vocabulary Lists, are also found on the Web site. There is a link for helpful websites such as Kahoot.com, Quizlet.con, and other websites that correspond with the 3rd-grade curriculum too.
We have six folders in 3rd grade. The HOME folder will be brought home DAILY with any homework sheets or other relevant information. The completed class work sent home should be taken out of the folder. Please review this work with your child if needed. The TEST folder will contain weekly tests and graded papers. PLEASE be sure to SIGN, REVIEW, and RETURN all tests promptly. I will file all tests and graded work for the year.
The YELLOW folder is for MATH worksheets. The RED folder is for ILA worksheets, which include Reading, Spelling, and English, and Writing. The BLUE folder is for Science and Social Studies worksheets. We will use the ORANGE folder for Embryology: Our Chick hatching project.
Please CHECK your child’s Catholic Planner DAILY for HOMEWORK and BEHAVIOR. If you send me a note, please ask your child to show it to me in the morning. You will find a copy of the CURSIVE Alphabet inside the back cover if needed for writing. Your child will use cursive script for most of their written work in 3rd grade.
PLEASE SEND A HEALTHY SNACK DAILY
Announcements
We need TISSUES; PAPER TOWELS; AND BABY WIPES.
If you would like to donate any of these items, I would REALLY APPRECIATE it!!Xtramath.org. This is a GREAT way to review addition/subtraction/multiplication/division basic facts. IT ONLY TAKE 10 MINUTES A DAY!! The website starts with addition, and when they finish addition, it moves on to subtraction then multiplication then division. You can change it to multiplication if you would like to by using the HELP option.
Here is an excellent website: mathplayground.com : click on 3rd grade: monster multiplication or monster division to review mult/div basic facts 2’s – 9’s
Here are some Computer sites you can use to help study Spelling words and Reading, Social Studies, and Science Vocabulary words throughout the year.
We use them in class too.
