PHONEMIC AWARENESSWhat is it?
The ability to hear and work with the sounds of spoken language. That wordsare made up of sounds.
Phonemic Awareness can be developed through number of activities such as segmenting words, deletingor adding beginning or ending sounds.
![Page 21: Osborne Elementary School Welcome to Third Grade Parent Orientation Night!](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813d1f550346895da6dfb3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
PHONICS/DECODINGWhat is it?
The relationship between the letters of writtenlanguage and the sounds of spoken language.
Phonics Instruction is systematic and explicit. It Includes carefully selected set of letter-sound relationships organized in a logical sequence. Start With vowel sounds and build to more complex letterPatterns such as –sion, -tion, prefixes, affixes, etc

The topics I will discuss:
The big idea: How math is taught Components of a lesson Expectations: What should children
master this year? Assessments How you can support your child in
math this year
![Page 45: Osborne Elementary School Welcome to Third Grade Parent Orientation Night!](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813d1f550346895da6dfb3/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
How Math is Taught Problem-solving approach
We begin with questions and activities that connect to what they already know.
Using visual and kinesthetic models to bring the new concepts to life can be extremely effective.
The Bottom Line: We make kids grapple.

Writing
Ongoing practice Examples from Unit 1
Explain the meaning of the = sign in the number sentence 0 + 7 = 7.
Explain how you found the median in problem 2. Explain how you figured out what the date will be in
two weeks.
We want kids to be able to show all their work and explain why they did each step that they did.
![Page 53: Osborne Elementary School Welcome to Third Grade Parent Orientation Night!](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813d1f550346895da6dfb3/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
One stamp costs 41 cents. How much change would you receive if you paid for 10 stamps with $5.00?
Show all of your work and explain why you did each
step.
![Page 54: Osborne Elementary School Welcome to Third Grade Parent Orientation Night!](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813d1f550346895da6dfb3/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
It is not enough to just show what you did, like this:
10 x $0.41 = $4.10$5.00 - $4.10 = $0.90
I multiplied 10 by $0.41 and got $4.10.
I subtracted $4.10 from $5.00 and got $0.90.
![Page 55: Osborne Elementary School Welcome to Third Grade Parent Orientation Night!](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56813d1f550346895da6dfb3/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
We need you to explain why:
I multiplied $0.41 by 10 to find out how much the stamps cost. I then subtracted the cost of the stamps from $5 to find the change, which was $0.90.

What should third graders be able to do in math by the
end of third grade? Make change for an amount up to $5.00 with no
more than $2.00 change given. Solve problems involving multiplication through
the 9’s tables through 9x5 Create or match a story to a given combination
of symbols (+, -, x, <, >, =) and numbers Interpret bar graphs, tables and charts and be
able to analyze the data using the concepts of largest, smallest, most often, least often, and middle.

Assessment Ongoing, daily checks for mastery “Part A” – students should have
mastery of these items “Part B” – skills that are still
developing Open-Ended Slate/Oral Assessments Self-assessments Games, writing, quizzes

How to support your child “Family Letters” Make visual connections when possible. Encourage estimation. Homework – Read the note at the top to see
what we’re working on. Homework Help – write a brief note to let us
know if your child struggled Rehearse the facts – Just before going to bed Encourage your child to talk about how and
why they figured something out.
