THIRD GRADE
Reading Resources
-
We work hard to build our culture of reading every day in Cape. We suggest 30-60 minutes of reading every day.
Please assist your student in reading a book from your home library or you can access the digital ARC BookShelf by clicking here. You will need your Student's ID number to login.
Books are leveled by reading levels identified by color. Your student should know what color-level at which they read

Writing Resources
-
Write a journal entry. Your student can summarize what they read about today or what they learned in Math. If you’re struggling for ideas, we’ve assembled a list of 50 journal prompts to get your student writing.
Social Studies
-
KidCitizen provides a growing set of interactive Episodes where K-5 students work with primary source photographs to explore Congress and Civic Engagement. The episodes work on Macs, PCs, Chromebooks, iOS and Android tablets.
Ken Burns and his collaborators have been creating historical documentary films for more than forty years. Known for a signature style that brings primary source documents, images, and archival video footage to life on screen, these films present the opportunity to pose thought-provoking questions for students and introduce new ideas, perspectives, and primary sources.
Science Resources

Earth Day
Earth Day is coming up on Wednesday, April 22, 2020. Check out the link below for PBS Learning Activities related to our universe!
Bringing the Universe to America's Classroom
Weather Whys
Stratus, cirrus, and cumulus clouds, jet streams, cold and warm fronts, atmospheric and barometric pressure. We hear and see those terms all of the time. But what exactly do they all mean? With Weather Whys, learn about weather and science from Delmarva's local experts: the meteorologists with WBOC and WRDE.
Choice Boards
-
These materials were created to complement and extend learning from lessons that students have already explored in the classroom. (In other words, we’re reinforcing knowledge, not introducing new concepts.) In this model, we’re not calling on parents to teach, but rather facilitate and help to prevent learning loss.
These activities can take place over a week’s time and allow for choice. Participation would be considered voluntary, but strongly suggested. There is no thought to attach grades or tests at this time.
STEM Activities
-
Take a look at the list below and choose an activity you can do together:
- Play a board game together (Checkers, Chess, Monopoly)
- Build something with Legos, blocks, or any materials you have
- Take a walk in your backyard and take some pictures of nature
- Draw a blueprint/floorplan of your room/house
- Put together a puzzle
- Design some paper airplanes and see whose can fly the farthest (measure it)
MOVEMENT
-
During the school day, we build in brain breaks and movement. We suggest that students move around periodically as breaks during the learning. If you’re looking for a great resource on taking movement breaks, please check out Go Noodle by clicking here.
