This week a new spelling packet will go home for Yunmi and Halmoni's Trip. This packet is due on Friday. Please be sure your child is practicing his or her multiplication facts. We will have a timed test every Thursday. We have moved onto fractions, but will continue to review multiplication and division. Lit circles are due on Wednesday as usual. I will be printing out an AR quiz report soon to send home with report cards as well as current reading levels.
Wish list : pencils and goodies for the prize box.
Have a great week!

Hope you are all enjoying yet another 3 day weekend. This is it for a while until Spring Break, so hopefully students are well rested. The spelling packet for Across the Wide Dark Sea was sent home last week and is due this Friday, February 25th. Students had 2 weeks to complete so EVERYONE should turn this in on time. We are wrapping up division in class (for now) and moving onto fractions and decimals. Please be sure your child continues to practice the multiplication facts for the test we have every Thursday. A big THANK YOU to Alison McKenna for correcting these for the class. I hope that as these tests come home weekly, you and your child can reflect on improvements and obstacles. The 2nd trimester report cards will be sent home in early March and these will reflect their current grades for geometry, multiplication, division, and fractions.
In March, all 3rd grade classes will begin working on a mammal report. Tomorrow in the computer lab, I will introduce students to a website where they will review a list of mammals and decide which one they would like to research. If a mammal not on the list is chosen, students will need pre-approval from me in order to proceed. The 3rd grade team thought it was important to have a website already in place that students could get their information from. Otherwise, students come with internet articles that are too advanced that they can not read or understand. This type of research will be a nice lead in to our Famous American reports that we'll be working on in May. A letter will go home shortly explaining the mammal project.
Wish list: pencils, antibacterial wipes
Thanks and Happy Presidents Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!
Due to the next 2 short weeks, the spelling packet fot Across the Wide Dark Sea will not be due until Friday, February 25. We will have a spelling test for these words on that day. Please be sure to check that your child's name is on his/her packet and that ALL pages are complete. I also encourage you and your child to practice the multiplication page on the back of the packet. Every Thursday your child will have a test on these facts. By 3rd grade the facts to the 10s should be memorized. We are still working on division and long division will be introduced this week.
That's it for now. Please send in sharpened pencils with your child. I am down to only 2 packs. Have a great weekend and stay healthy!
