MARK YOUR CALENDARS!! We are so excited to announce that the 3rd graders will be going on a field trip on March 29th. We will be going to the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium in Draper. The donation cost for students is $5.00 and this is to be paid to the front office. This field trip will be a great opportunity for parents to get volunteer hours. The cost for parents to attend the field trip will be $10.00 to be paid at the front office. I will be sending home a permission form and letter with all of the details on Tuesday, so keep a look out for it.
Important Dates:
- March 29th – Third Grade Field Trip
- April 4th-8th – No School! Spring Break!
MATH – MULTIPLICATION! MULTIPLICATION! MULTIPLICATION!! – I hope that got your attention. Your child cannot learn their multiplication facts without help from home. Please make sure that you are quizzing your child on these facts. You can buy cheap multiplication flash cards at many different stores, or you can create your own using index cards. Students in 3rd grade are required to have their 0-10 multiplication facts memorized before entering 4th grade. I have been quizzing students on their facts and they need to pass off 10 facts in a minute. Please take time every night to practice multiplication facts with your child.
This week we will be working on comparing fractions. Below is the family letter and on the second page, there is an activity to help students with fractions. You are not required to do the activity, it’s just a suggestion if you’d like your child to practice at home.
ELA: This week we’re working on Unit 4 Week 4 in our Wonders book. Below is an outline of what we will be learning.
