Black History Month Begins



Hello Third Grade Families,

Last week, your children really enjoyed celebrating National Catholic School's Week! We are back to our regular schedule this week and are ready to dive into some new topics.

Also know, that next week, the students will be celebrating Valentine's Day on Wednesday, February 11th.  Please have your child bring a valentine for each child in their homeroom class.  We will send home a list of the student's names early this week.

ELA



Spelling skill focuses on vowel sounds in spoon and wood.
Grammar skill focuses on irregular verbs.
Reading skill focuses on story structure.

Math
The students began their lessons on basic division last week.  This week, we will focus on learning how to divide with remainders and cross multiplication.  All of the third graders, will be assessed on their basic multiplication facts on Feb. 5th.  Please continue to have your children practice their facts utilizing the multiplication.com website.  Division practice is available on this site too.

Social Studies
  • 3A students will begin their lessons on the Civil War through the use of a Realistic Fiction story, vocabulary words, timelines, short videos and a creation of a 'diary' to keep our notes. 
  • 3B students will finish up their lessons on the American Government with an assessment this Friday, February 6th. 
Religion 

Students will continue their lessons on the Sacraments of Initiation, as well as, beginning the process of preparing for the Sacraments Retreat next Friday, February 13th.
