We are firm believers in a strong open line of communication between home and school. After all, we have something special in common, your child!

Our Curriculum:

This year we will cover a wide variety of subjects and topics.  Below is an overview of our curriculum and units of study for Third Grade.

• Students will be following the EngageNY Modules for our English Language Arts curriculum this year.  Instruction will focus on vocabulary, comprehension strategies and skills, grammar, spelling, and writing. The overarching focus for all modules is building students’ literacy skills as they develop knowledge about the world. In each module students will participate in a novel study in which they will think critically, write to respond to reading, to inform other readers and to tell creative stories.  In order to increase students’ reading comprehension, strengthen writing skills, and build vocabulary, Students use reading and writing skills across all content areas. 

• Our Social Studies curriculum will allow students to explore their communities and various communities around the world.

•  Our Science curriculum covers health, living things, weather and energy.

• Our Math curriculum is very rigorous. We use the NYS math modules called Eureka Math. Each lesson builds upon each other and students learn through discovery, manipulatives and the traditional style of math!

• This year in religion it is a sacramental year for our students. They will have an opportunity to make and celebrate their First Holy Communion.  

Our Classroom Policies:  

Third grade uses an interactive online classroom management tool called Class Dojo. It’s a fun and exciting way to communicate between students, parents and teachers. If you have not already joined us on class Dojo, please contact us for an activation code.

Our Homework Policy:

Our students are expected to complete their homework each night it is assigned. Every night there will be math homework. Spelling homework will be assigned on Monday and there will be a spelling test every Friday. If students are missing an assignment a pink slip will be given. Three pink slips in one semester will require a lunch detention.

Together we will uncover the tools that will set your child up for success.
