St. Isabel Grade 3 Blog: October 13-17, 2025

In Language Arts, when reading, we are discussing the terms: genre, making connections (to help with understanding), context (how it helps us know how others are feeling) and visualization!

There won't be any new Word Wall Words this week. Review last week's words for our SWYK on Fri.

We will also be learning about recount writing. A recount, in writing, is a retelling of something that happened in the past. Each student will be choosing an event to write about using transition words (first, then, next, after, finally) and describing the event in order. Our last sentence is an opinion about the event.

Students are able to reserve popular books online using Sora. Students use their OCSB student login information to reserve books for 14 days. Students can read reserved books on any device. Sora can be found on the student portal.

In Math, we are writing numbers in different ways (e.g. base ten pictures, expanded form, etc.). The place value of numbers help us compare numbers. Our addition unit will be underway soon and we will move into regrouping with three- and four-digit numbers. Practice your math facts daily. Do you know your doubles (6+6, etc.)? Can you skip count by 2's, 3's and 4's fluently?
