  7. Accelerated Reader Accelerated Reader (AR) is a program where students choose books at their appropriate reading levels and read them at their own pace. The students then take a quiz on their book to increase reading skills such as vocabulary, drawing conclusion, main idea, sequencing, inferences, etc. To help assist your child with finding a book title you can visit www.arbookfind.com to search for available titles then check the Mary Lin Library website to ensure the book is located in the schools’ library. The Mary Lin Library link http://aps.tlcdelivers.com/school.asp?branch=2518

  8. Mathematics • Place value, addition and subtraction with regrouping • Multiplication (Three digit X one digit) • Division (Three digit X one digit) • Multi-step problem solving • Measurement conversions • Graphing… Mean, median, mode, and range. • Geometry • Math Centers for Spiral Review • Students need to practice multiplication and division facts throughout the year at home. Please make sure you all have multiplication & division flashcards at home.

  9. Multiplication X Camp • Since mastering multiplication is a major emphasis of 3rd grade, we want to enliven this skill by creating an incentive for each student to reach proficiency early in the school year. • September 24th is our “X” Camp day. We envision a large circle of family-sized camping tents set up around our grounds, with students rotating in small groups to each tent-centered activity. Activities would include creative contests, games, art and building projects, all incorporating multiplication facts and concepts. We are hoping we will have enough tents/stations so that we can rotate groups of 6-7 students at a time to each stop. • To make this vision happen we need parent volunteers to lend and set up tents, create and lead activities, and provide special snacks or prizes for this special event.

  10. Science • Earth science: rocks, minerals, soils, fossils • Physical science: magnets, heat • Life science: habitats of Georgia, environmental studies • Hands-on science experiments

  11. Roots and Shoots-Junior Achievement Roots and Shoots is a Dr. Jane Goodall sponsored program where graduate students from Emory University engage our students deeper into our science standards. Junior Achievement is a partnership between the business community, educators and volunteers that teach the key concepts of work readiness, entrepreneurship and financial literacy to young people all over the world.

  12. Social Studies • Map skills • American Biographies- Paul Revere, Fredrick Douglass, Susan B. Anthony, Mary McLeod Bethune, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Eleanor Roosevelt, Thurgood Marshall, Lyndon B.

  16. CRCT-ITBS Testing ITBS: The Iowa Test of Basic Skills is a Norm Reference Test that is administered to compare the student’s academic capacity to other students on their grade level nation wide. This test is usually administered in March. CRCT: The Criterion Reference Competency Test is a state mandated test that is administered to measure the mastery of the Georgia Performance Standards. Third graders are required to pass the Reading section of the test in order to be considered for promotion. This test is usually administered the second week after spring break. The tentative date is April 19-29, 2011. Writing Assessment: Teachers collect work throughout the year to create a writing portfolio. Writing Portfolio scores are sent home with the final report card. March 21- April 1, 2011. Benchmarks: Students take periodic benchmark tests (district-wide). The data is intended to inform teachers and gauge their instruction.
