Math Highlights:
Students will begin the year by reviewing subtraction and addition skills. Our primary focus is understanding and practicing multiplication and division in both computational practice and word problems. Fact fluency/practice is an important piece for math this year- students will be expected to study facts at home four days a week. Students will be introduced to fractions at a basic level as well as diving deeper into money, time, measurement and geometry concepts.

Continuity and Change
Students in grade three, learn more about our connections to the past and the ways in which particularly local, but also regional and national, government and traditions have developed and left their marks on current society, providing common memories. Emphasis is on the physical and cultural landscape of California, including the study of American Indians, the subsequent arrival of immigrants, and the impact they have had in forming the character of our contemporary society.

P.E.

Students will continue with PE integrated into the school day. Students will have PE TWICE a week for a total of 90 minutes a week.
Projects and other lessons will bring us out in the garden throughout the year, depending on what time of year it is, we could be learning outside anywhere from 1-4 days a week. Being present in our garden is very important & students should have an active role, we will do a number of different activities in the garden throughout the year! Art will be incorporated into classroom lessons/activities mostly, but we will hopefully have some opportunities to bring in an art teacher as well. |
