Hello Parents and Guardians! Please find below a list of what we will be working on this week in Third Grade. Also included here is a link to our 3rd Grade Curriculum Night for this Thursday from 6:00 pm – 6:30 pm. We’ll go over our 3rd grade learning standards and try to clarify expectations for the school year.
Welcome back Wolf Canyon Families!
The 3rd Grade Team is eager to meet our new students and help them to create a new routine. We have many challenges ahead of us all, but we prefer to see them as opportunities that will help to build character. Students will learn strategies and participate in the process of coping with changes to find the positive in any situation. Wolf Canyon spends time daily focusing on building relationships and helping students with their social and emotional needs. It will look a little different this year because of Distance Learning, but rest assured it is a priority and the major emphasis for our first week back.
Please note, our first week back will be minimum days going from 8:45am – 11:15am with at least one scheduled screen time break. Starting week 2, we will have a full day of online learning from 8:45 am to 1:45 pm. Specific whole group and small group meetings will be available from your classroom teacher.
Finally, please sign up to follow this blog. A weekly curriculum outline will be posted to keep you informed of what your child is working on and a place to help us to communicate grade level news.
Looking forward to getting started,
The 3rd Grade Team
Parents, as our school year comes to an end we hope you’ll help us by reminding your children how special they are and how much we care for them. Please let them know that we miss them all and cherished our time together this year. We’ve done our best to create an online classroom for them to interact in and feel safe. We appreciate your help and patience in making this transition as we all learned to work remotely.
We don’t have a date yet for when the new school year will begin, but the Chula Vista Elementary School District is working on creating grade level summer learning plans that families can use over the summer break if they choose. You can visit www.cvesd.org for more information. Stay up to date on school news by following the Wolf Canyon Blog at https://wolfcanyontimberwolves.org/
Here is the link to our final Choice Menu of the Year. June 1st Choice Menu.

Hello 3rd Grade Families,
Besides our Weekly Choice Menu we want to make sure you check out the Wolf Canyon Blog weekly to stay informed about school events. During this week, classroom materials like workbooks and personal belongings will be passed out via a drive through pick up schedule. If you can’t make it in, we’ll hold on to the packet until school restarts. Also, if you have any school library books you can drop them off at the same time. In addition there is a library cart out in front of the school during the day. You can deposit the books at your convenience during normal school hours.

Hello 3rd Grade Parents and Guardians,
We hope you’re all doing well and are able to create some new routines to adjust to the Covid-19 quarantine. We’d like to remind you all that the Choice Menu is there to help you create a daily routine based on your child’s needs and personal family situation. We are working hard to transfer our standards based lessons into electronic versions, and are available to help in a variety of ways. Email is one way, but we are also working on interacting and engaging the students through the Teams app and it’s video and chat features.
As teachers it is in our nature to try and motivate students to learn and complete assignments, but currently our focus is driven more by their social and emotional needs. The weekly Choice Menu is a tool at your disposal that can be utilized how you see fit. You may see “due dates” listed, but those are merely a function of the programs we are using and a way for us to stay organized. Nothing is mandatory, and we do not want to add to the stress of the current situation by requiring assignments to be completed. We will do our best to support each individual student no matter where they are academically. Thank you for your patience as we develop grade level distance learning procedures, and try to synthesize the old with the new ways of doing things remotely.
Here is this weeks Choice Menu.
