It’s the last week of school before Christmas break and we can make it. I have noticed that our class has become very chatty over the last few days, so I will be changing things up this week. Please see below for more details of what we will be working on.

We are still working on earning our Grinch hearts. Each student will have the chance to earn three hearts for our Grinch Party. One for kindness, one for respect, and one for responsibility. I will be looking for students going above and beyond the normal for them to earn their hearts. Our Grinch party will be on Friday, the 18th.

Below is what we will be working on this week. Please remember that if you have any questions, or concerns, to contact me. Thank you!

Math – We are still working on multiplication. Below is the family letter from our math workbook the explains what we are doing in class. On the second page of the letter, there is an activity to help students with multiplication. You are not required to do the activity, it is just a suggestion if you would like your child to practice at home. While we work on our multiplication facts in class, it is so important that students practice their facts at home. 3rd graders are required to pass of their 0-10 facts before they move onto 4th grade!

ELA – This week we are working on Unit 3 Week 4 in our Wonders book. Below is an outline of what we will be learning

A Special Message to Students: Congratulations! You made it to the end of our blog! You are very responsible. Please tell Mrs. Brown the phrase – The Grinch Rocks – first thing on Tuesday morning to earn a special prize!
