Rocket Math- Students in third grade start with subtraction. They are given a one minute timing every day , if they make their goal they continue to the next letter of the alphabet. If they don't pass they stay on the same letter and try again the following day. They are welcome to take an extra sheet home to practice and we encourage them to finish any not complete at home. After subtraction is complete the student moves on to multiplication and then division.
Accelerated Reading (AR)- Every student is assigned an AR point goal each quarter and expected to read at least 20 minutes each night to help reach their goal. A quiz is taken after they finish the book to monitor their comprehension. To make their goal they have to reach their designated points and keep their comprehension at 85% or higher.

Spelling-A spelling list consisting of 20 word for the previous week is sent home with the students. A written test is given weekly at the end of each week. These are some practice ideas your student has done at school:
- Write three times each
- Pyramid write
- use crayons or markers
- type on computer
Birthdays- Your child is welcome to bring treats for the class if they would like to on their special day. We have 21 students in our classroom. We ask that birthday invitations not be distributed in school unless your child has invited the whole class. As discreet as children try to be with someone always seems to feel left out or have their feelings hurt because they were not invited to a party. We ask that parents be sensitive to this and send invitations via the mail.
If your child has a summer birthday we will celebrate their special day on their half birthday. June birthdays in December, July in January, and August in February.
