4th quarter AR goal is a minimum of 5 points by May 21. At least 2 books must be chapter books.

Next up in Unit 10 will be a review of measuring weight, length, and capacity; introducing the mean of a set of data; and gaining experience with plotting points on a coordinate grid.

We finished our Exodus book this week and learned so much about how God worked miracles in the lives of the Israelites and how He still works in our lives today! Now we are on to our last book of the year, Dog Friday. What a great way to end 3rd grade!

Remember...Egypt projects are due on Monday, May 19.
