Congratulations are in order for our class finalists in this year’s speech competition. While it was tough to choose, these five will represent the third grade: Paloma, Dominic, Destiny, Chloe & Nico!

Math: Unit 8 – Fractions, continued! The class will continue to review fractions as we make our way through lessons 8.5-8.7. As always, see the Home Links at www.everydaymathonline.com for extra practice and review. Your child’s username and password can be found in his/her planner.

Grammar: The Unit 4 Test will take place Tuesday, April 28th. In your studies I suggest reviewing the subtle differences between adjectives and adverbs, practicing identifying both.
