Here are the focus Standards your third

these goals. Along the way we will be using
reading strategies and skills to help us
identify story structures, notice details,
identify the sequence of events in a story,
and text features in a non-fiction selection.

1. Telling and writing time to the nearest
minute, and measuring time intervals
Writing:
CCSS W.3.3- Write narrative to develop real

We will be writing our own personal and
creative narratives. We will also be altering
existing stories and characters to help us
meet this standard.
