Mrs. Colonna's 2011-2012 Third Grade Class

Mrs. Colonna's 2011-2012 Third Grade Class
Where we are all learners!

Welcome to Mrs. Colonna's class website!

Third grade is an opportunity for students to learn a variety of information. It is my hope that at the end of third grade, students will have knowledge that will carry with them throughout their entire lives.

All year, students should learn to be responsible for turning homework in on time, putting their names on their papers, and carefully completing work. Every night, please sign your child’s homework book and it will be stamped in the morning. Any notes or questions you have for me can be written in the assignment book.

In mathematics, we have started the new district wide series, “Envisions.” Students will have many hands-on opportunities in math. By the end of third grade, students should master their multiplication and division facts.
In language arts we are continuing in our Reading Street series. Some things to expect will be small group reading instruction, writing and grammar, reading a new story each week, and spelling. On the first day of the week, students are expected to write all spelling words three times each. On Thursday evening, students have a grammar page, study spelling words, and re-read the reading story. All language arts tests (reading, grammar, and spelling) are given on Fridays, unless otherwise noted.

Third grade is a milestone in the learning process in that our students are no longer learning how to read but applying reading skills in other subject areas. In science, students will learn about different animals and their habitats. In Social Studies we will study all of our holidays and look at communities.

I hope we soar through third grade as if on the wings of our monarchs!
