  1. Welcome to 3rd Grade Curriculum Night!

  2. Overview • Curriculum guide can be found at: • http://www.shakopee.k12.mn.us/Page/2804 • How to use this curriculum and home support guide • 3rd grade homework policy • Approximately 10 minutes of homework per grade level • At this point, your student should read at least 15 minutes per night • Each night you should plan for at least 30 minutes total time for homework • Assignment Notebook needs to be signed and returned every day

  3. Language Arts: Reading • MAP scores and DRA testing to determine individual needs. • Students will participate in reading groups at their reading level or dealing with a skill they need. • Daily reading is the key to becoming a better reader.

  4. Language Arts: Writing • Students will write stories, reports, poems, and letters. • Each day a lesson will be taught and time to write will be provided. • Students write at their own pace. • “Writer’s Notebooks” are places where we keep our ideas.

  5. Language Arts: Word Study • Students select 5 words from a list of “High Frequency” words that they didn’t know on the pretest this fall. • Students will be practicing a feature skill each week. • The goal is to teach students about words and how they relate; students learn patterns for a lifetime, not a list for a week. • There will be a quick quiz every Friday in place of traditional Spelling test. • Word Study homework will be given on Monday and is due on Friday.

  6. Math • Students will have blue math homework almost every night. • Students will be pre-tested on each chapter. • Typical math lesson: whole group lesson, try sample problems as a class and then individual or small group work. • Big focus in 3rd grade is mastering multiplication facts. • Please review addition and subtraction facts at home.
