Hello Third Grade Parents,
It’s amazing to me that the school year is almost over! Students have worked hard all year in order to prepare for fourth grade. They are well on their way.
Here are some areas of focus that we will be working on.
Religion-Students will continue learning about God’s love for us and how we worship in the Liturgy and Sacraments. Students will be able to recognize that the liturgy draws us into communion with God. We will also understand that we receive the grace of Jesus Christ through the sacraments.
Math-Students are progressing nicely with the weekly multiplication tests, and we will continue this process for the remainder of the school year. We will continue to work on multiplication, division, graphs, measurement, and time.
Science-Our focus will be learning about Earth, weather, and our universe.
Reading-We will continue to work on phonics, oral reading, comprehension, and fluency skills the rest of the school year. Students will explore timelines, analyze informational texts, and study procedural and inquiry research texts to build both understanding and appreciation of different text types.
Please contact me via email if you have any questions or concerns. I tend to look at my email at the end of the school day, and I will address any issues at that time.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Manning

Hello Third Grade Families,
It’s hard to believe that the school year is almost over! I have truly enjoyed teaching this class and getting to know each student. It has been such a pleasure watching everyone learn, grow, and try their best every day. I’ve seen tremendous growth in reading, writing, spelling, and social studies. I’m so proud of all their hard work. As we get ready for fourth grade, I know these students are more than prepared for the exciting challenges ahead. Keep up the great work, and don’t forget to keep learning and having fun over the summer!
Below are some of the key areas we will focus on this term:
Language Arts (ELA)
Students will deepen their understanding of pronouns and how they function in sentences. Students will also learn to identify certain verbs as words that express action. They will learn about:
- Proper usage of I and me
- Pronouns in compound subjects and objects
- Action, being, helping verbs
- Principal parts of verbs
- Regular and irregular verbs
- Verbs: bring, buy, come, sit, eat, go, see, take, tear, write
- Simple present and past tense
- Future tense
- Present and past progressive tense
Students will also learn what makes a strong description and practice composing descriptive writing using proper grammar, vivid synonyms, and sensory language. We will also introduce the genre of personal or friendly letters. Students continue to work hard and enjoy learning how to write in cursive.
Reading
We will continue strengthening phonics, oral reading, comprehension, and fluency skills throughout the remainder of the school year. Students will explore timelines, analyze informational texts, and study procedural and inquiry and research texts to build both understanding and appreciation of different text types.
Religion
Students will continue learning about God’s love for us and how we worship in the Liturgy and the Sacrament. Students will be able to recognize that the liturgy draws us into communion with God. We will also understand that we receive the grace of Jesus Christ through the sacraments.
Social Studies
Students will investigate how people in a community relate to their environment. They will explore how the environment impacts the community and how the community, in turn, affects the environment. Students will also propose thoughtful solutions to improve their community’s environment.
As we head into the final stretch of third grade, we are excited to finish the year strong together! Over the coming weeks, we will continue building on all that we’ve learned, celebrating our progress, and challenging ourselves to do our very best. Our class will stay focused on kindness, responsibility, and perseverance as we wrap up important projects, review key skills, and enjoy special end-of-year activities.
Thank you for your continued support, it truly makes a difference. Together, we will make these last weeks meaningful, memorable, and full of growth for every student.
Please feel free to contact me at any time with questions or concerns at echase@saintstansschool.org.
Thank you for your ongoing support, and may your child continue to have a positive and joyful rest of the school year!
