Our first week of the new year was a success! I am so proud of how hard students worked to get back into our routine. They did amazing! Below is what we will be working on for the week and the Sign-Up for Parent Teacher Conferences.
Important Dates:
PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES – Parent Teacher Conferences will be held on Wednesday, February 2nd and Thursday, February 3rd. Please note: These will be early out days (1:00pm) and there will be no school on Friday (February 4th). Students will be creating a presentation to share with you during this time. They will talk about their learning scores and show off what they have been working on in computer science. Please watch for a sign-up link to be sent to your email.
MATH – MULTIPLICATION! MULTIPLICATION! MULTIPLICATION!! – I hope that got your attention. Your child cannot learn their multiplication facts without help from home. Please make sure that you are quizzing your child on these facts. You can buy cheap multiplication flash cards at many different stores, or you can create your own using index cards. Students in 3rd grade are required to have their 0-10 multiplication facts memorized before entering 4th grade. I have been quizzing students on their facts and they need to pass off 10 facts in a minute. Please take time every night to practice multiplication facts with your child.
This week we will start lesson 17 in math which is one step word problems. Below is the family letter from our math work book. On the second page of the letter, there is an activity to help students understand area. You are not required to do the activity, it’s just a suggestion if you’d like your child to practice at home.
ELA: This week we’re working on Unit 3 Week 2 in our Wonders book. Below is an outline of what we will be learning.

Hello! We have a lot going on the next two weeks. The big ones are Middle of Year Reading and Math testing that we started today. It is so important that your child is here as much as possible! I would like them to get plenty of practice and review before their testing! Some helpful tips to help your child prepare is to make sure they get good sleep the night before and eat a good breakfast so that they feel ready for the day. Also, please make sure that you are still reading 20 minutes OUT LOUD with your child every night. This is going to be the best practice! I am so excited for them to show how much they have grown!
