Good Morning and Happy New Year!!!  I hope everyone had a nice, long, and relaxing Christmas Break!!!  Mine was fabulous!  Let’s start 2016 great!!  
We are finishing up learning about the last few multiplication facts this week: we will learn the 6’s, 7’s and 8’s.  Students will still be able to pass off multiplication facts up until February 14th (Multiplication Madness Party).  Next week, we will move on to area in math.    

I thought we were going to be able to do the Words Their Way Spelling Inventory the last week of school before Christmas Break, but we were too busy and didn’t get around to it…oops!  Therefore, we will not do any WTW spelling sorts again this week.  I will be giving  the Spelling Inventory Monday of this week and we will be starting new sort groups next week.  I will let the students know the new groups they will be in starting next week.
We will have math homework and reading minutes every night this week.  Thanks so much  for all your hard work and support in 2015.  I promise you will see SO much growth in your children throughout January and February!!  IT’s awesome to see!

Monday- 6 facts hmwk
Tuesday- 7 facts hmwk
Wednesday- 8 facts hmwk
Thursday-check my progress hmwk
Friday- Homework and Sort and Reading Log due!

Good Morning!  Last week went by even faster than the week before.  This week will be over before we know it!!  The kids are passing off multiplication facts like crazy!!  Last week the students had an opportunity to pass off their 9’s, 3’s and 4’s.  This week, I will not be introducing new facts.  WE will have a review week for the students that haven’t passed off all their facts so far.  Please continue to study multiplication facts at home!!  Thanks for all your hard work!
No WTW Spelling Sorts this week…we will be giving the Spelling Inventory again to see if any students need to move groups starting in the new year.  We will still have math and reading homework every night.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone! Please have a fun and safe holiday break!  WE will see you all back to school on Monday, January 4th! 🙂

I’m sure you’ve all heard about our Grinch focus this month. We are spending lots of time talking about kindness and showing love to others.  IT has been awesome to see the students work extra hard to be super caring. To wrap things up in December, we will be having our Grinch Party next Friday, December 18th (with the entire third grade).  We will watch the movie “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” together in the gym.  The students will be given sugar popcorn (colored green) during the party.  We will also be giving the students “Grinch Pills” at the party (green Sixlets). PLEASE DO NOT tell your child about the treats we are having so we can surprise them. 🙂 If you DO NOT want your child to eat the sugar popcorn or “pills”, please let me know.  December 18th is a Dollar Dress Down Day, and we thought it would be fun for the kids to dress up like a “Who” or the Grinch.  Let’s be creative and have some fun celebrating our hearts growing 3 TIMES this month.   

In the afternoon on the 18th, we are going to play “The Wright Family” Christmas game.  So, I need every student to bring a White Elephant gift to school on December 18th.  This can be something funny you have lying around the house or you can go to the Dollar Tree to grab something.  Please DO NOT spend lots of money on this gift.  This gift should be something the students would like or be entertained with.  Be creative!  Please wrap this gift and bring it to school that day. Let me know if you need anything.  I have a few extra White Elephant gifts that I can let someone use if needed.  Thanks so much!

I hope everyone is having a great week!  WE are having SAGE Interim Math Testing next week on: Tuesday, December 8 from 2:00-3:00 and Friday, December 11th from 9:40-10:40.  Please make sure your children are here on those days, so they do not have to make-up their testing.  The SAGE Interim testing is giving us a baseline to show improvement from December to May.  This is the first time your children have seen this test.  It’s very good for them to get comfortable to the way the questions are asked and how t use the tools on the computer. Please contact me if you have any question.  Thanks for your support!

I hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving break and got lots of rest!!  WE are back to the grind for another three weeks until Christmas Break.  These next few weeks will fly by I’m sure, but we still have so much to do before Christmas comes.  I hope everyone had a chance to study their multiplication facts over the break.  Everyone has passed off their 0’s and 1’s.  We will be passing off 2’s, 5’s and 10’s this week.  Please have your children practice and do flash cards with homework.  
**Please mark your calendars: We actually changed the date of our Mutliplication Madness Celebration to Valentine’s Day (Friday, Feb. 13th at 2:00 in the gym), so it will take the place of our class party.**
