Third Grade
Welcome to Third Grade!
We are very excited that you will be joining us this fall! You will learn about empathy and cooperation, how living things depend on water and real-life stories. We will work with multiplication and division.
Enjoy your summer vacation! Spend lots of time reading and enjoying experiences with your family, so we will have lots to talk about in the fall.
Your friends,
Ms. DiMaio and Mrs. Janowitz

Dear Families,
Students may bring in a beach towel to sit on during the week. They will not be sharing it. Students will bring the towels home on Fridays to be washed. Students should bring their charged Chromebook and a water bottle daily. Students may bring a quick snack to enjoy during our mask break. Students will be having Breakfast and Lunch at school.
We will be wrapping up a look at the American Revolution. Students will be looking at the perspectives or points of view of Patriots and Loyalists. They will be comparing rebellion to revolution. We will continue to work with multiplication and division strategies in Math. We will be working with force in Science.
We hope all of our families stay safe and stay healthy!
