April: What is Grade 3 studying?
ELA:
Module 3: Exploring Literary Classics
Module Summary: In this module, students begin reading a retold version of the literary classic Peter Pan to build their understanding of how the historical context of a literary classic can have an impact on the content and also to analyze how writers develop characters to capture a reader's imagination. Students will continue the reading routines from Unit 1 to finish reading Peter Pan. At the same time, they will read chapters of Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens to compare and contrast stories. Finally, students will revise a scene of Peter Pan and then prepare a presentation explaining how and why they revised that scene.
Unit Tasks:
- Students write and read aloud a revised scene of Peter Pan. They also prepare a presentation to explain how and why they have revised the scene.
- Students will analyze the traits, motivations, actions, and points of view of characters in Peter Pan.

Module 6: Collecting and Displaying Data
Students will…
- generate and organize data
- create scaled bar graphs
- interpret measurement data from various line plots
- represent data with line plots
Common Core Learning Standards:
3.MD.B.3 – Draw a scaled picture graph and a scaled bar graph to represent a data set with several categories. Solve one- and two-step "how many more" and "how many less" problems using information presented in scaled bar graphs. For example, draw a bar graph in which each square in the bar graph might represent 5 pets.
3.MD.B.4 - Generate measurement data by measuring lengths using rulers marked with halves and fourths of an inch. Show the data by making a line plot, where the horizontal scale is marked off in appropriate units— whole numbers, halves, or quarters.
