Happy Sunday! Here are the updates for this upcoming week.
Book report for the Famous American is due this Friday, Feb. 1st. It was a 2 page packet sent home before Winter Break that consists of 1) The Title of the book 2) 5 interesting facts, and 3) a short 4-6 sentence summary about their chosen famous American. If your child needs a copy of this, please send me an email and I will be sure to send one home on Monday. A few students have already turned theirs in. Oral presentations will not be until the last week in March (right before Spring Break). Over the next few weeks, we will begin the writing process. Another letter explaining the project will be sent home in a few weeks. We wanted kids to get a head start and gather some information before we began trying to work on the presentations in class. I may be asking for additional volunteers during this time also. I'll keep you posted!
A "regular" spelling packet for Nights of the Pufflings will be due this Friday. We also finished up Geometry last week and are working on Chapter 12, division. Students who know their multiplication facts are understanding the concept easily. I have given them several ways to work it out (i.e. drawing arrays, picture groups, repeated subtraction, and fact families). Please encourage your children to use whatever method works for them.
That's all for now. Hope you are enjoying the beautiful day!
Wish list: Wipes and pencils :)

Hope you are all enjoying a gorgeous 3 day weekend. I love when we have 70 degree weather in the middle of winter!
Anyway, it was great seeing all of the alert and smiling faces last week. Kids were energetic and jumped right back into the swing of things. With this being a 4 day week, a spelling review packet will go home Tuesday and is due on Friday. A spelling test on these review words will be on Friday as well. Students will have a quick 10 point quiz on solid shapes in math on Tuesday. We will then begin division (CH 12). I'm giving a multiplication quiz weekly now until the end of the school year. Students should continue practicing these facts thoroughly throughout the year.
Students also need to have a famous American book picked out by Jan 22. The attached book report will be due in early February. If you didn't receive this before winter break let me know and I will send a new one with your child.
Have a wonderful 3 day weekend!

Happy New Year everyone! I'd like to give a big THANK YOU to all the parents who gave me such wonderful gifts for Christmas. I felt the love this year! I have to say this is a great class and the kids truly reflect their parents' kindness. Thank you for all you do!
School will resume on Monday with our usual schedule. A spelling packet will go home for Abdul Gasazi and is due on Friday, Jan. 18. As always, please be sure the reading log is signed and homework is turned in on time. We will continue with multiplication and geometry in math.
Before Winter Break, a letter was sent home from the 3rd grade teachers describing our upcoming Famous American report. We were hoping some kids could get a head start and find a book to have read by January 20. It makes it easier when kids have some background knowledge about their chosen American before we begin the writing process. If your child hasn't chosen a person, please be sure they pick one soon. We would like all students to have a small summary about their Famous American by January 20. If you have any questions about this feel free to email me.
Enjoy the rest of your vacation! See you soon!
