- if you have any objections, please let me know ASAP
We will be having a Valentine’s Day Party on Thursday, February 14th from 1:30-3:00. Any parents willing to volunteer and run a center during the party, please let me know.
Also, please send 25 Valentine cards with each of your students on Valentine’s Day to pass out. Each student will bring a bag home to decorate to use for collecting Valentines. Please make sure that your child’s name is visible on the bag, and it is returned to school by February 14th. Another reminder, please do not attach candy or food to the Valentine Cards, but you can be creative and do pencils, erasers, etc.

Math in Class
Fractions!!! We love fractions in 3rd grade, and I am so excited to introduce this concept to the class. We are learning our x8 facts. Please practice these facts using the Addams Family tune. Encourage your child to teach you the other songs that we’ve learned as well (I’ve listed them below). Practicing at home is very helpful!
x2- Jingle Bells
x3- Happy Birthday
x4- Row, Row, Row Your Boat
x6- Frosty the Snowman
x7- Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
x8- Addams Family
Homework:
No surprises! 20 minutes of reading every night and Reflex. Please make sure that your child gets a green light in Reflex AT LEAST 3 times during the week. If doing Reflex at home is not possible at times, please send me an email or Bloomz message so that I can arrange for your child to have an opportunity to get it completed at school.
Work hard. Be kind.
