THIRD GRADE TEAM
Reading
Over the next few weeks, we will be learning in class about the differences in
point of view between a biography and an autobiography. We ask that you take
your child/children to the school library or Sterling Municipal Library and check
out some biographies and autobiographies.

This month in math our students will be learning to use multiplication and
division in different contexts. Please have your child practice their multiplication
facts at home.

This month in science our Apache students will learn how to observe, measure,
record, and compare day to day weather changes in different locations. They
will also use and learn about tools to measure air temperature, wind direction,
