Investigations Math Curriculum

This year, P.S. 58 will be working with a brand new math curriculum: Investigations! 



We will grow as mathematicians this year as we explore place value, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, data analysis, geometry, patterns and measurement.  This program will deepen our problem solving skills and ability to explain our math thinking and is better aligned with the Common Core Standards.  For more information about the new curriculum, you can visit the Terc website.

Adopt a Classroom

The third grade classes are trying a new--and hopefully easier--approach to school supplies this year. Instead of each student bringing supplies individually, we are asking families to contribute to our site on adoptaclassroom.org.  There is no minimum amount, but please consider donating what you typically spend on supplies ($50-$75 per  child) so we can begin the year with a well-stocked classroom.

You can find the site for Class 3-207 here.

Additionally, we are asking students to bring some supplies on the first day of school.  Please bring the following on September 6:

  • 5 Marble composition notebooks labeled with student's name
  • 1 durable homework folder labeled with student's name
  • At least 1 package of sharpened #2 pencils (Ticonderoga or Dixon preferred)

Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you for your generosity!

Welcome to our class blog!

Hi third graders,

We hope you all are having a terrific summer!  Can you believe we are less than a month away from the first day of school?  We have such an exciting year ahead, and we couldn't wait until September to start our class blog.  We'll update this page throughout the year to share all the great work we are doing in Room 207, so visit often!

Can't wait to see you all soon!

Love,
Mrs. Vanegas & Ms. Rippe
