Mrs.Wall's Third Grade Class

Welcome to my third grade classroom - - -

This is an exciting year of adventures and challenges. Get ready and let's have fun!

New challenges in third grade include cursive handwriting, reading new stories and learning new reading skills, and starting with multiplication facts. We also take the NWEA computerized tests and the Iowa Test of Basic Skills for the first time.

Reading Counts is a program introduced to third graders where they read designated books at their own level and take 10 point computer quizzes. We also take some really great field trips. Roller skating and plays are also trips to be enjoyed.

Events and Announcements:

* Field Day - to be announced at a later date

In the Classroom:

READING/GRAMMAR : Each reading theme consists of 5 different stories. Reading and language skills are discovered with each story.

Reading themes include (1) Our World (2) Investigations (3) Discoveries (4) Determination (5) Challenges and (6) Achievements.
