Hello Third Grade Families,
I hope everyone enjoyed the Thanksgiving holiday. This week we are back in action, although with a somewhat abbreviated curriculum since we are operating on a shorter schedule than normal.
Don’t forget that on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday there will be 11:30 dismissals to make time for parent conferences. If you need to reschedule your appointment, please contact the Office directly as Mrs. Hahn maintains the master schedule.
This week we’ll be studying the following:
Math: The class will continue with Unit 4 (Multiplication & Division) covering lessons 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5. As always, I 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.
For IXL math homework, please complete the following Third Grade skills:
E.1 Multiplication Sentences
