Dear Third Grade Families,

I hope everyone enjoyed the Labor Day weekend. I’m sure it felt good to get an extra day of rest for us all.

Friday is Grandparents’ Day! I look forward to sharing the morning with many grandmothers and granddads.  Grandparents are to meet us early at 8:30 mass with a reception in the Hall to follow.

In class this week, we’ll be studying the following:

Math: Unit 1 Lessons 1.7-1.8. We continue to review key content. Feel free to follow along with us 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:

A.1 Write Numbers in Words

A.8 Put Numbers in Order

B.3 Value of a Digit

Note: I will check next Monday to see that your child has completed this homework assignment.
