-Field trip information is going home Monday, March 20th. Please sign and return by March 31st with your cash payment.
-Our biography project is underway! Please check in with your child about their progress on their notepages. They will have allotted classtime to work on this. My goal is to have all books read and note pages completed by Friday, March 24th so we can move onto the next phase of the project.
-Students should begin to study their multiplication facts each night! Fact fluency is essential in 3rd grade. We will study our tables in the following order: 0,1,2, 5,10,3,4,6,7,8,9,11,12. Your child will be responsible to keep track of their own progress. Please check in with them to see how they are doing with our fact check quizzes.
-Students will be moving on to mixed multiplication quizzes once they have mastered 0-12. Following the mixed quizzes, we will start division timed quizzes.
-3A&3B Social Studies- . We are continuing our government unit and discussing the different levels of government: National, State, and Local. We will have a quiz on the 3 levels of government on Tuesday, March 28th.
-Be sure that Chromebook forms and fees are returned to school ASAP! 3rd Graders will be able to work with Chromebooks in the classroom this year! These will stay at school.
-3B will have Gym on Mondays. Please make sure your child wears the correct uniform.
- On Monday, you can find the weekly reading skills, spelling words, and story vocabulary in your child's binder. There is also a letter that explains our Word Study focus for the week. The word study pattern is assessed on the weekly Reading test, and the spelling words for the week also follow this pattern. This letter should stay in your binder for the week because on the opposite side is Thursday night's homework.
