Curriculum

__Math __

 Third graders use the Everyday Math program here at Preston. We do a lot of practice with time and money and making change. We begin multiplication this year and lots of practice is needed! Here is the link to the Everyday Math parent letters that include answer to Home Links.

__ Reading __

 Our Reading program is called America's Choice Reading Aviator. Students will still do guided reading with me. I split our class into three or four groups and work with each group throughout our reading class. The groups are separated by reading levels and they read several different genres of literature. We use Horizons as a reading intervention program.

 __Social Sciences__

 We use Harcourt for our Science program. We use MacMillan/McGraw Hill for our Social Studies program. Here is the link to view Harcourt's Science website.

 __America's Choice- Writing Aviator__  We use America's Choice Writing Aviator program in all grades. We started it this year and it has been an amazing experience for the students. They learn to take their writing through the drafting process, conference with me and their classmates, revise, edit, and publish!
