Third Grade

Welcome to our new website!  
You can check here for information about our classroom as well as what's happening at St. Adelaide Academy. 

There has been a change in our daily schedule.   Mrs. Malouf has changed the 3rd and 4th grade classes as follows:
          Every day (except Fridays) I will be teaching the 4th grade students religion in my classroom. at 10:45 since Mrs. Fishburn is not Catholic.   This is to ensure that each student at St. Adelaide receives a good Catholic education - especially in religion class.
          During that period, the 3rd grade students will go into the 4th grade classroom where Mrs. Fishburn will teach them science.
We will discuss how this will effect our Springtime projects and field trip.   More to  follow on this.

We are working on regrouping (borrowing and carrying over) in addition and subtraction in Math.   This is also our focus during Wednesday afternoon tutoring in my classroom.   If your child is struggling with regrouping (don't feel bad, most students struggle a little with this) please allow them to stay for Wednesday tutoring.   (3-3:30...and IT'S FREE!)

Your children are going to be teaching Social Studies next week!   Every year I assign a portion of our Soc Studies newspaper to groups of 3rd grade students to work together to present the info to the class.   Teaching is a great way to learn!   They enjoy it and benefit from doing this.   I also go over it (review) to be sure that each student has learned what they should about each topic.   Please encourage them to go over their newspaper article and write down their teaching prompts.   Allowing them to practice in front of you is a very good thing!

It's hard to believe that it's November already.  November will have several days off, besides our long Thanksgiving break, so be sure to check your calendars often.  There is a full calendar on this website.
After Thanksgiving break we will be holding our parent/teacher conferences December 4-6.  You will have the opportunity to choose which day/time is best for you with an app called "Sign up Genius".   Look for it toward the end of November.
