Please know speaking and listening is a HUGE skill in Third Grade. Ask your child what they have learned today. Ask them to tell you a story using their vocabulary words to help them review for their test! Homework is simple. There will be a Fluency page sent home for your child to practice reading and/or a language skill to practice. Please take the initiative to use these activites as resources, but the internet has FREE online skills you can also access with those same skills each week to give them additional practice. I have linked a few good sites you can use to help them this school year as well. Also, remember our two Reading Programs- Amira and Lexia- Both requre headphones and a quiet space to practice these skills.

Overview Unit 1:
Stories Julian Tells
About this Unit
By the end of this unit, students will have read literary and informational texts to learn how reading and storytelling can be adventures that connect them to diverse people and places.
The main text students will read in this unit is Stories Julian Tells by Ann Cameron which contains six different stories that the narrator, Julian, tells about his life. Students will see how Julian’s life is affected by his family, his imaginative mind, and his ability to get himself into trouble. Throughout the unit, Julian is growing up and learning from his mistakes. He learns how to take responsibility for his actions, how to be a better big brother, and that anyone can be a friend. At the end of the unit, students will be asked to write an essay about the central message that is conveyed through Julian, Huey, and Father's actions in The Stories Julian Tells.
