Welcome to Miss Farrell's 3rd Grade Class!


Reading Corner:


In reading we are learning how to develop our comprehension skills to really help us become great readers. Students are making predictions, asking questions, making connections, using context clues to solve unknown words, and determining important information to write summaries. Remember reading is THINKING!
Math Matters:


Students continue to develop their multiplication and division skills. As we prepare to finish the school year, students will continue to review fractions, decimals, elapsed time, probability, and other skills. We will begin studying volume and capacity. Students will delve deeper into measurement and units of length as well. Remember to visit the Everyday Math website for extra practice!
World of Writers:


3rd grade students continue to grow and develop as authors. Throughout the year we have written narratives, opinion pieces, poetry, informational paragraphs, letters, and much more! We are currently working on animal research reports. Students topics include: dolphins, lions, sharks, anacondas, puffins, panthers, frogs, deer, and many other interesting animals. Students will take notes from multiple resources, use these notes to compose multiple paragraphs, and references their materials to create their report. Stop by room 208 to see the students amazing work throughout the remainder of the year :)
