WELCOME BACK!! I hope that everyone had a fabulous and relaxing spring break. I know that I did! This is the time of year where the Mario Cart final lap theme song starts to play. This month we will be preparing for the RISE test, which is the end of level tests. We will be taking some practice tests to help us prepare for the real ones. We will also be reviewing all of the information that we have learned all year. Please make sure that your child is here every day so they don’t miss out on any learning fun. Below is what we will be working on for the week.

Important Dates:

• Monday, 4/5 – Library
• Wednesday, 4/7 – Character Ed
• Thursday, 4/8  – Coding/Keyboarding
• Friday, 4/9 – Early Out!

Math –We have been working on time and elapsed time. This week we will finish up the lesson and test on Friday. Below is the family letter from our math workbook 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 – This week we are working on Unit 6 Week 2 in our Wonders book. Below is an outline of what we will be learning.
