Sept. 28-Oct. 2

Hope you are all enjoying the wonderful weather this weekend. Here are the latest updates for the week. Spelling packet for The Keeping Quilt will go home Monday due on Friday. Please check your child's work before it is turned in to be sure that sentences begin with a capital and end with the correct punctuation. Mrs. Sandman has been correcting the homework and has found numerous mistakes throughout the spelling packet. Also, as mentioned at Back to School Night, students should write sentences neatly on binder paper. We agreed that parents would attach binder paper from home.

We began subtraction of 3-4 digit numbers last week. This seems to be an area of weakness for many 3rd graders, so students may need additional support at home. I have parent volunteers coming in for math and will have some students pulled into small groups to receive help and additional instruction. Subtraction will be an area that we will revisit throughout the year.

That's about all for now. Looking forward to seeing you in a few weeks for conferences.
