Dearest Third Grade Families,
Trimester 2 Report Cards go home Tuesday. Look for them in your child’s work folder. Please remember to sign & return the envelope so that it may be used for the final Report Card in June.
This week we’ll be studying the following:
Math: The class will continue Unit 7 (Multiplication and Division) covering lessons 7.5,7.6, 7.7 and 7.8. The Unit 7 Test will take place next Thursday, April 3rd. As always, I would encourage you to follow along with us by completing the “Home Links” at www.everydaymathonline.com. Your child’s username and password can be found in his/her planner.
Likewise, we continue to practice our multiplication and division facts. Take a look in your child’s planner for the latest progress report and individual goal. As a reminder, this is part of the nightly homework.
