Hello Third Grade Families!
Happy Halloween! Temporary tattoo sales begin today and continue throughout the week leading up to Friday. Although only two may be applied to the hands on Halloween, students may purchase as many as they would like with all additional tattoos being sent home. All profits raised will be going to the Adopt-a-Family program.
In class this week, we’ll be studying the following:
Math: This week we will finish Unit 3: Linear Measures and Area. We will be focusing on the difference between area and perimeter and end the unit with an exploration of circumferences. As always, I suggest using the Home Links at www.everydaymathonline.com to prepare, as there is one for each lesson. Your child’s username and password can be found in his/her planner.
For IXL math homework, please complete the following Third Grade skills:
R. 22 Is it a polygon?
N.3 Purchases – do you have enough money – up to $10
N.4 Making change
