Students know that when we count money each one gets a certain number of “touches” (this is touch math). Quarters get 5 touches, dimes get 2 touches, nickels get 1 touch, and pennies get the number 1 written on it.

SPELLING
As per administrations advice, we will no longer be doing a spelling sort for homework each night. For spelling practice, students will be required to complete the paper below. Students will choose 8 normal words and 2 challenge words and find out how much each is worth. I only need this one paper done for the whole week, but keep in mind there still will be a spelling test at the end of each week based on the sort.

Multiplication Madness Celebration/Valentine’s Day Card Swap

Posted on by
Reply
**We will be passing out Valentine’s Day cards on February 14th (before the Multiplication Madness Celebration).  We have 24 students in our class.  I prefer for the students not address the student’s names on the Valentine Cards.  It takes double the time to pass them out if they are addressed to each individual student in our class.  Please have your child just sign each of their cards.  Remember not to send candy with your cards.  You can bring anything else that is not edible.  WE WILL NOT BE MAKING VALENTINE’S DAY BOXES OR BAGS TO HOLD CARDS.  STUDENTS ARE WELCOME TO BRING BOXES OR BAGS FROM HOME.  I WILL HAVE PAPER SACKS TO GIVE THE STUDENTS THAT NEED SOMETHING.**

We will need parents to help and volunteer with the Multiplication Madness Ice Cream Sundae Party.  Parents that are able to come and help us, please come to the Q1 gym on February 14th @ 1:30 in the afternoon.  I know a lot of parents aren’t able to make it to the party, but we are in need of donations as well.  Our class is responsible for:
**Update**
We have enough bowls and napkins
135 spoons
135 bowls-
135 napkins
135 placemats-In the past Chick-fil-a has donated these for our math activity. I just need someone to go and pick them up.

Please let me know if you would like to help with volunteering and/or donating on this day. Any parents that can come to help, please bring an ice cream scooper.  Thanks so much for all your support with all our extra shenanigans in third grade!  You’re all the best!
