MULTIPLICATION TIMED TEST EVERY TUESDAY! BE SURE TO PRACTICE FOR 10 MINUTES EVERY DAY!


During the first half of the year, we have been developing skills with multiplication and division facts.  Unit Seven continues these systematic skills and extends factors to multiples of 10, 100 and 1000.  Knowing the basic facts as reflexes, without having to figure them out is an essential prerequisite for future developing objectives.  We are so impressed with the progress of our students!
Biography book report info is in this week's signed papers. Included is a projected schedule to help keep your student on track to complete the assignment by March 6. We will be reading a biography and writing a sample book report together in class. Your 3rd grader will bring home a copy to use as a guide for writing their own book report. We will begin reading another great biography next week about the life George Washington Carver.


We have concluded our Native American unit in Social Studies and are now officially experts on all things Native American!. Next up is a study about Georgia history and government, just in time for our trip to the Capitol!


Our States of Matter unit in Science is so cool. This week we learned about changing states of matter and how to “hurry up” or “slow down” melting ice.
