Math: We will be starting our first math unit this week. We will be reviewing 2nd grade materials including: writing three-digit numbers in word form and expanded form, comparing three-digit numbers, and adding three-digit numbers. This will give me an idea of what your child knows before we jump into 3rd grade standards. We will also be taking our I-Ready Math Diagnostics over the course of the week.

ELA: This week we will be working on Week 1 in our Wonders program. Below is an outline of what we are learning in class.

Supply List:  I am asking for money donations in the amount of $30.00 instead of you buying your child’s supplies. I love doing this to make sure that the students have all the supplies they need and parent’s do not have to go and search for a long list of items! Due to the wide range of preference with headphones, this is the only item that I do not buy for all students. Please send those with your child on the first day of school. To see what your $30.00 will cover click on the class supply list under the Parent Information tab above. Payments may be made on Quest’s website by clicking “Current Families,” then “Online Payments.” Enter my name and donation amount. You may also use the following link. ONLINE PAYMENTS
