This week will be full of fun, hard work, more fun, and more hard work! We will be reviewing math, working hard on multiplication facts so that every child may earn their ice cream sundae, testing, crafting, reading, writing, and partying! Of course partying won’t be until Thursday afternoon and Friday! The third grade is working on a fun Christmas song to sing at our school sing a long this Friday morning at 9 am. We have a fun Grinch party planned for Thursday afternoon as well as rotations with the other third grade classes on Friday after the sing along. Remember, Friday is the ugly sweater day if your child would like to join in.

This week for homework, we will be having abbreviated homework! We will NOT be doing Words Their Way Sorts or test this week. The only homework required for this week is to read 20 minutes day. Please turn in your reading minutes to me by Friday as that will still be graded as your homework this week. Also, please work on multiplication facts with your child this week and over the holiday. There are some who haven’t passed off 3’s yet and if you child has passed off 3’s, have them move onto 4’s, 6’s, and 7’s.

I absolutely LOVE our class this year, they have been working so hard and it is joy to be a part of their success. Feel free to let me know if there is anything I can do to improve the quality of their school experience.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
