2019- 2020
Starting a new year in 3rd grade. 3rd grade is considered the most important year in a child's academic career and it is quite different from 2nd grade. Students will apply a lot of the skills they learned in K-2 in their studies in 3rd grade. Students are graded differently in 3rd grade. We use letter grades. The level of work is more challenging. The reading passages are harder, the amount of writing is longer, and the level of abstract thinking in mathematics increases. Ways to help your child be successful in 3rd grade: - offer lots of encouragement - Praise the effort - Reassure your child that tests are grades do not necessarily determine future success. - Help them to see that failures are learning experiences. I am here to work with you to make 3rd grade the most successful year for your child. |
