We discuss Adam ' s life , the punishment of sin , and life before and a�er sin was introduced to the world . Our math begins with a review of addition and subtraction to 10 . Students review these basic facts by exploring the relationship between addition and subtraction and practicing basic fact strategies .

In third grade , students will start the year by getting accustomed to the exciting new aspects of being a third grader ! �ey will set up their third-grade binders and learn to take responsibility for school assignments and stay organized throughout the year . �is year , third-grade students will remain with their homeroom teacher for core subject instruction throughout the day , which will support their developmental needs and provide more uninterrupted learning time . During WIN ( What I Need ) time , students may switch to another teacher for differentiated instruction . In math , students will build on existing knowledge of place value and addition and subtraction within 1,000 to explore rounding . �ey will use a visual number line model to see which tens or hundreds a number belongs to and which one it is closer to . Instead of using tricks or phrases , students will discover rounding rules by placing numbers on the line and identifying patterns . We will start with rounding to the nearest ten and then move to hundreds . ELA instruction will reinforce understanding of the elements of fictional narratives . Students will discuss the literary tools of personification , perspective , and point of view , as well as themes of friendship , loyalty , and responsibility . �e third-grade teachers are thrilled to see what the Lord has in store for our new students as we watch them grow academically , emotionally , and spiritually . We look forward to a wonderful year !
