Welcome to Third Grade! Get ready for an interactive learning adventure! All of my class sizes are small in order to allow each learner to fully participate during class. In this ongoing class, we will focus on third grade learning objectives through interaction, discussions, group activities, exploration, projects, worksheets, crafts, games, sharing, and themes. Each week will include hands-on interactive lessons focused on third grade objectives. 

Every Sunday I post the weekly objectives, supplemental activities, and a list of any supplies we may need that week. I try to post experiments in groups a few weeks in advance. This gives you time to prepare. (Many of these are things you can easily find around the house.)

In addition to our class activities, I supply many additional (optional) activities you can do at home to reinforce the class objectives. I will help you organize all of our learning material to set your learner up for success! 

CLASS OUTLINE:
**Our class will follow a consistent daily routine. Routine is important for young learners. This predictability helps build confidence. All learning objects (new and review) are weaved into the class. My class size is small in order to allow sharing, discussion, conversations, friendships, and community. All learners are actively engaged.**

GREETING:
*We will begin each class with a greeting and "morning meeting" activity or "question of the day". This is a fun way to encourage learning and conversations. 

*Morning Meeting / Daily Notebook Activity: 
Our daily notebook activities include: Calendar, Weather, Days of the Week, Months of the Year, Handwriting, Third Grade Math Objectives, and Sight Words. Once they are comfortable with completing daily notebook activities, this will become less "teacher led" and more independent. We will share (and check) our activities as we move through our notebook activities.

OBJECTIVES:
***Math objectives include: place value / base ten, addition and subtraction with regrouping, multiplication, developing division, elapsed time, money, odd and even numbers, graphing, estimation, word problems, measurement / fractions, geometry (shapes), and more. 

***Language arts objectives include: reading, writing, story retelling, story sequencing, , fluency, comprehension, main idea, beginning research, phonics, grammar, spelling, sight words, contractions, poetry, letter writing, and more.

***We will also incorporate additional science, geography, and social studies objectives.

The smaller class size is designed to create a more individualized experience for students. The weekly curriculum will be adjusted based on the needs of the students. Please feel free to contact me with any specific needs or special requests. I want to support all of my students in the best way possible. 

***Socialization and participation are a critical part of early childhood development. With a small class size, students have more opportunities for sharing. They also learn to take turns and be active listeners. (For these reasons, I will not mute students unless there is a great deal of background noise or a situation that is distracting to our class.) 

Let's play, have fun and learn!

***FALL SCHEDULE 2024 Daily Schedule***
As a reminder, every Sunday, I will post the weekly objectives, theme activities, supplemental activities, and a list of any supplies we may need that week. (Most of these are things you can easily find around the house.) I will give you additional notice for anything special we may need. Many of our concepts are learned together. 

FIRST NINE WEEKS: **I will continue to update our monthly objectives. This is subject to change based on time and student needs.
