Hello Third Grade Parents,
We are well on our way to having a successful year in third grade. Students are working hard in all subject areas and they enjoy writing their letters in cursive.
Here are some areas of focus that we will be working on.
Religion-Students will continue to learn that God loves us, discuss how the Church draws us to God, learn how to worship the liturgy and sacraments, and Lent.
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 and division.
Science-Our focus will be learning about different types of ecosystems. We will also incorporate STEM activities throughout the year.
Reading-We will continue to work on phonics, oral reading, comprehension, and fluency skills the rest of the school year. We will also explore a time line, discuss informational text and learn about poetry.
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,
I can hardly believe we are more than halfway through third grade! Time truly flies when you’re having fun—and we have certainly had a wonderful year so far, with many more exciting learning experiences still ahead.
Our third graders continue to grow academically and socially each day. They are engaged, curious learners who are building confidence and strengthening their skills across all subject areas. I am proud of their hard work and look forward to guiding them through the meaningful learning that is still to come.
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. They will learn about:
- First, second, and third person pronouns
- Subject pronouns
- Object pronouns
- Possessive pronouns
- Possessive adjectives
- Pronoun–verb agreement
- Proper usage of I and me
- Pronouns in compound subjects and objects
Students will also learn what makes a strong description and practice composing descriptive writing using proper grammar, vivid synonyms, and sensory language. 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 poetry to build both understanding and appreciation of different text types.
Religion
Students will continue learning about God’s love for us and how the Church draws us closer to Him. We will discuss the liturgy and sacraments and reflect on the meaning of Lent.
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 ways to improve their community’s environment.
My continued focus is on building a positive and supportive classroom community where every child feels loved, valued, and encouraged. We will consistently practice and reinforce our classroom expectations and routines to ensure a respectful, safe, and productive learning environment. By working together and supporting one another, we will make the most of our time at St. Stan’s this school year.
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 year!
Mrs. Chase
