The 3rd grade teachers have provided a list of independent activities for students to work on during remote learning. These include using online programs like IXL, Epic Books, and Hour of Code to practice core subjects for up to 1.5 hours per day. When facilitating learning at home, parents should start each day with an independent warmup activity and then review assignments. A variety of options are suggested, from typing practice and story websites to coding, math games, and writing activities. Parents are encouraged to give themselves grace and credit for any schoolwork completed.

Your 3rd grade team has compiled a list of activities that we have been doing this year in hopes of helping with your daily school work schedule. First off, when children are taught one-on-one the activities go quickly. So now that your 3rd-grader is being taught one-on-one by you, your child should not be doing more than 1.5 hours of core subject work in one day. On a regular school day, teachers have to read and answer emails every morning, take attendance, and do other coursework duties, so the children come straight in, login to their Chromebooks, and start with one or two independent activities for the first half-hour of class. This is a useful warmup tool to get those brains started. Your child should be able to tell you what they have done throughout the year. If you start your "school" day like this, you will have the opportunity to look over the suggested assignments to see what needs to be done, and get your materials gathered. Below is a list of activities that can be done independently. Remember to give yourself grace and credit for getting anything done. If you only work in your workbook that was handed out (“Get ready for 4th grade), then you've done something and that’s great! Here are some activities to try: ● IXl- Any activity will be a benefit to your child especially grammar and reading. This is a program that our PTC paid for so make sure they have signed in before doing their work. 85% is the goal they are looking for. We only have language arts available. https://www.ixl.com/ela/grade-3 ● Typing- We use many different typing programs. You might try Typing.com through Clever or Nytro Type. ● Epic Books for Kids is also a favorite https://www.getepic.com/sign-in Parker class code is: eix4549 Sciarillo class code is: avi1341
● Storyline Online is also a favorite: https://www.storylineonline.net/
● They also have access to Overdrive through Clever that allows them to sign out books from an online library. ● Benchmark is also available through clever and they can have stories read to them or they can read them themselves
● Hour of Code is also a lot of fun. Just be sure your child is coding more than changing the "skins" of the things they are coding. Here is one link but there are several others if you Google it: https://hourofcode.com/us/learn ● Cool Math 4 Kids is a lot of fun, but you have to make sure they are math games they are playing We limit them to multiplication and division games https://www.coolmath4kids.com/math-games ● Xtramath is a way to practice multiplication and division facts. https://xtramath.org/#/home/index
● For writing, they can simply write a story on paper, or use Word, Google Docs, Google Slides, PowerPoint, or any other program you use yourself. ● For enrichment, they can research a topic that they enjoy and replicate the animal report in their own Google Slides. ● Learning another language might be something of interest to your child. many enjoy learning sign language. ● Maybe learning music and how to play a certain instrument This is something we were doing with our recorders this year and our music teacher.
We are sure this is enough for now. There is time to fill in other opportunities as the weeks go by. We are here to support you. Please do not hesitate to reach out.
Kindly, Julie Parker and Michelle Sciarillo The 3rd-grade team
