THE LAST WEEK OF APRIL!! Where has our time gone? For our final 26 days for school, we will be doing an ABC countdown.

Math –We will be working on area & perimeter for the next couple of weeks. Below is the family letter from our math work book that explains what we will be working on. On the second page of the letter, there is an activity to help students with what we are working on. You are not required to do the activity, it is just a suggestion if you would like your child to practice at home. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE ARE DONE WITH MULTIPLICATION. MANY STUDENTS ARE STILL WORKING ON MEMORIZING THEIR FACTS. 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 – We made it! This week will be the last week for our Wonders books. Below is an outline of what we will be working on for Unit 6 Week 5.
