Please read over the new AR goal for 4th quarter. It came home Thursday in green homework folders.

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

Unit 9 is the third of three Math units on multiplication and division. Four main areas of focus in Unit 9 are multiplying and dividing with multiples of 10, 100, and 1,000; using mental math to multiply; sharing money, and finding products of 2-digit numbers.

The biographies and paper dolls were fantastic!!!  We’ve learned a lot about these famous Americans.  Please come by the third grade hall and take a peak.  We’ll keep them up so our grandparents can brag!!!

Please encourage your child to write at home – anything from keeping a diary to making lists for you to writing a letter or thank you note.  This is so helpful in increasing those writing skills. 

 

We began a new Social Studies unit. We hope you’ve heard! It’s always every 3^rd graders favorite! Can you guess? It’s Egypt! Hopefully you will hear lots of new, interesting, fascinating (and maybe even a little gross!) Egyptian trivia over the coming weeks!

 

 We are enjoying our new science unit on Force and Motion. Already in science lab we've explored what "work" means in scientific terms. Ask your third grader. The answer may not be what you expect! We've also enjoyed exploring how levers make hard jobs easier. We will cover all of the other simple machines this spring, as well as an at school project, Invention Convention.
