  8. Social Studies Twelve Units The Social Studies curriculum focuses on 12 main units which center around communities, geography, citizenship, and government around the word. It is an in-depth curriculum that has many resources that are offered to the students.

  9. English and Language Arts • Spelling Test – every Monday • Weekly Lesson Test – Monday unless otherwise noted • The Sentence • Nouns • Verbs • Adjectives • Capitalization and Punctuation • Pronouns • Adverbs and Prepositions

  10. English and Language Arts • Narrative • Opinion • Informational • Letter Writing • Students evaluated using PSSA Rubric • Students must focus on a writing prompt

  11. PAW Paragraph • For writing this year, each student will have a homework assignment given on a Monday and due that Friday. The assignment will be described in detail in a PAW paragraph book. The process to write these at home paragraphs will follow the writing process we do at school. The children will complete a brainstorm activity, rough draft, editing and revising with an adult and a final copy. Please make sure to sign each paragraph.

  12. Student Achievement Tiger Talk • Student Achievement is data driven and differentiated. • Topics included during Student Achievement are based on grade level standards and expectations. • Instruction will align with FES targeted areas of growth as well as the PA Core. • ELA topics will include additional practice with core writing forms (narrative, opinion/argument, and informative/explanatory), text dependent analysis, making connections between texts, robust vocabulary, figurative language, and English applications. • Math will include techniques and strategies that both support and enrich topics covered within the curriculum. • No specific grade will be given in Student Achievement on the report card, but items will be graded and given to the ELA or math teacher for inclusion with report card grades.

  14. Mathematics* Students were grouped according to District Criteria. • District Criteria • Achievement Scores • IOWA Test • End of Book Test • Basic Fact Test • Student Attributes • 2nd Grade

  15. GoMath! Reminders • Our Math curriculum is developed based on the needs and expectations of the PA Core and the assessments that relate to them. • Our curriculum drives our instruction and therefore you will notice some problems and pages throughout the year that we will skip. • The textbooks are one of our resources, but we always look for ways to incorporate other resources/technologies to make our instruction more exciting and relevant. • Any problems and pages skipped can be used for practice at home for test review or over breaks. • Math classes will develop a system for identifying the problems and pages that have been skipped that can be done at home.

  16. GoMath! Reminders • Along with pages and problems that might be skipped, we also have adjusted our pacing. • Through reflection and careful consideration of many factors, the 3rd Grade Team has made these changes to our pacing... • Chapter 2 will be taught before Chapter 1 • Chapter 2 is smoother transition into 3rd Grade. • Has similar concepts taught in Chapter 1, but are more manageable to start 3rd Grade. • Chapter 7 will be taught after Chapter 12 • Importance of Chapters 11 and 12 before PSSA testing in April. • Students learn the concept and strategies of Division in Chapter 6. • Chapter 7 is a review of those skills and strategies from Chapter 6. • It is also important to know that the entire 3rd Grade of North Allegheny will be following this sequence.

  17. New Mathematics Curriculum • We have updated the curriculum in grades K-8. • Instruction will focus on inquiry-based methodology. • Problem solving will be emphasized in all units. • All Pennsylvania Core Standards for Mathematics will be addressed. • GO MATH! will be our new textbook series. • Each student will receive “mini-books” for all units. Students can write in their consumable books. • There are new online resources that can be used at home for additional practice and reinforcement.

  18. GO MATH! Online Resources For best results, use Chrome as your Internet browser. • From the North Allegheny Homepage, click on “+Parents.” 2. Then select “Online Textbook Resources.” • 3. Select “Elementary Level Resources.”

  19. Rocket Math • 15 minutes per math period • Program is an intense instruction of math facts. • 100% accuracy to move on to the next level.

  20. Grading • A – 90% - 100 % • B – 80% - 89% • C – 70% - 79% • D – 60% -69%

  21. Homework Policy by 3rd grade teachers • Students are responsible for recording assignments and having required work in class on time. • Homework will not be given on Day 1 of an illness. Please e-mail or call on Day 2 for work. • Every attempt will be made to honor vacation homework requests; however, we are limited by our need to plan which does not occur until Thursday of the week before. • Attendance at orchestra does not excuse a student from classwork/homework. • Please check off assignments when complete in the assignment book . • Please sign assignment book each day.

  22. General Purposes We Agree Upon • Homework should help children: • review and practice what they’ve learned • get ready for the next day’s classes • learn to use resources, such as libraries, internet searches • explore subjects more than time permits in the classroom • develop good habits and attitudes • We will assign regular math homework, as math, like bike riding, comes with concerted effort and requires ample practice to enhance the conceptual understanding.

  23. Teacher Responsibilities • Go over assignment board – keep it up-to-date. Homework will also be posted on my website. • All assignments will be written in assignment book. • Give reminders about organization. • Show consistency in checking homework. • Be firm in the requirement of having materials in class. • Provide assistance, whenever possible, to those struggling to meet requirements. • Kindness........Patience.......Encouragement..... • Consistency......!

  24. How can you help your child? • Organization: • Find out how your child is doing with assignment book. • Your child is responsible for writing assignments – not you! • Help your child keep his/her accordion folder organized. • Time Management: • Track assignments on a monthly calendar at home. Work backward from the due date of larger or long term assignments or tests. • Break into nightly tasks. • Designate a time that works for your child/family. • Prioritize: • Have your child label activities and school tasks 1-3. • Check-in frequently to see how the tasks are being done.
