Grade 3 Resources
Suggested Learning Schedule
As a district we recognize there are practical limits to trying to continue the instructional program in an online format. That is not our goal at this time. We will continue to provide a variety of review resources for parent-guided and self-guided learning for students through March 31st. Here are some suggestions for how to structure this.

www.Poetry4kids.com Click on "funny poems" and scroll down to popular poems to read My Flat Cat.
Read or listen to the poem and the author's notes.
Notice the way the poem rhymes at the end of the first, second and fourth lines.
Write your own poem about an animal in your life, or one that you can observe outside. Use the same rhyming pattern as My Flat Cat.
Once your poem is finished, get creative and make something to illustrate the animal in your poem. It could be a picture, a play dough creation or anything you can dream up.
If you'd like to take a picture of your artwork and poem, you can email it to Mrs. Durant or Mrs. Brown and we will post it on Google classroom.

Number to access Capital Region Food Pantries (518) 458-1167
This number should help you to locate food pantries in the Capital District that are closest to your location in the event of long term school and work closures.
This number is to limit the need to go out and search for food pantries that are open, due to the fact that some food pantries are closing because of low staffing and lack of supplies.
Grab and Go Lunches
Effective Tuesday, March 17, breakfast and lunch will be available to all students from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. weekdays.
