Parent Curriculum Guidelines - Third Grade
The DCPS Office of Family and Public Engagement and the Office of Teaching and Learning collaborated to create grade specific parent guides.  These guides are meant to provide you with the tools needed to support your child’s learning at home. In this booklet, you’ll find strategies based on the DCPS curriculum to help your child meet their learning goals. You will also have a better understanding of what your child is learning in school and how you can further learning at home.

Word Work Activities Template Tool 

With the exception of long-term projects and/or book reports, no formal homework is assigned over the weekend. However, students are expected to read a minimum of 30 minutes every night in a just-right book. Students will have a weekly homework sheet in their green homework folder. 

Must-Know Spelling Words:
Each week, we introduce 6 new Must-Know Spelling Words in class where students learn a specific word pattern/theme (i.e., ea blend, suffixes, compound words). Students copy their must-know words in their "personal dictionaries", which are located in the back of their Writer's Notebooks.
Here is complete list of our Third Grade Must-Know Spelling Words. third_grade_must_know_spelling_words.pdf
