We're back into the swing of things, with a few noteworthy updates:
1) This FRIDAY 1/16, please do not have your children bring a lunch. We will celebrate Nicole Rubino's birthday with pizza brought to us by her family. Yum!2) The score given to the weekly spelling sentences assignment has changed. From now on, please check all of your grammar and be sure that all of your spelling sentences make sense. Without doing so, points will be subtracted from a possible perfect score of "10." 3) Our boys basketball team is still undefeated! They've got the weekend off for the MLK holiday, so look for info on their next game and watch them play.
4) We're going even further into multiplication this week, but many students still have not mastered their addition and subtraction facts. It is imperative that everyone have addition and subtraction flashcards at home for extra practice, as well as a set of multiplication and division flashcards for their desks at school. Help your child feel confident by providing supportive materials and encouragement! :)5) Please return the cioppino form sent home in December. We are seeking 100% feedback, so please send in the form if you have not done so already. Thanks!6) Lastly, I will be updating the blog weekly to let you know what's happening in third grade. Hopefully you will find it helpful in asking your child questions, instead of the usual, "How was school?" :)Please email me if you have questions or concerns about these updates. I hope your week is off to a great start!
