Dear Families,
Happy first day of school, and welcome back! I hope you’re as excited as I am to start the 2019–20 school year. This is a great time to be a student in a New York City public school. So many of our students and schools are doing better than ever. We have the highest-ever graduation rate, and more students graduating ready to succeed in college. And I expect more great things for our students this year.
From our youngest learners to our oldest in high school, our children are the next generation of thinkers, leaders, creators, and change-makers. We are ready to propel each of them on that path. Our commitment holds steady regardless of a student’s family income, race, religion, nationality, disability, language spoken at home, sexual orientation, gender identification, or any other dimension of their identity. Everyone at the DOE is working hard to ensure that every student gets the rigorous, inspiring, engaging, nurturing education they deserve.
I call this the Children’s Agenda—every day and every decision is about getting each student what THEY need to succeed. We understand that no two students, classrooms, or schools are alike, and recognize the beautiful and distinctive nature of each. At the same time, we are offering our students and families strong support, creating more welcoming schools, and ensuring a rigorous curriculum for all. Students across the city will benefit from social-emotional learning, restorative justice practices, and culturally responsive curriculum that reflects who they are. This is what it means to advance equity now. All of us at the DOE hope you love what you see today, and wish you a successful school year.
Sincerely, Richard A. Carranza Chancellor

3rd Grade News - December 2019
Reading Workshop:
In December, we continue our unit of Character Study. Students will continue to identify character traits and will use text evidence to support their ideas. Students will analyze how a character changes throughout a story and determine the lessons a character learns.
Please continue to support your child at home by ensuring that they read every night. After reading, please ask your child to identify the character traits and provide text evidence to support their ideas.
Writing Workshop:
In writing workshop, we will be working on a Baby Literary Essay Unit. Students will be able to make a claim about a character and support it with text evidence. Students will write literary essays about character traits, character changes, lessons learned and comparisons between two characters.
Please continue to support your child by having them discuss and write about the characters in their books and providing text evidence to support their thoughts.
Helpful Tips for Parents:
Math Workshop:
In our Math Unit, Travel Stories and Collections, students will be learning multiple strategies to solve word problems with three-digit numbers.
