Before the Long Break

Dear Friends & Families,

I hope that everyone had a happy holiday and a great vacation.  The 3rd grade had some fun before we left for our month off. 


Thank you Christina for your help with our gingerbread houses!


In math we finished our unit on multiplication and division.  The students have many strategies that will help them solve these types of problems.  Please continue to work with them at home on their math fact triangles.  This will ensure they memorize their facts.

The students spent December learning to write Response to Literature.  In this writing the student reads a story, summarizes the important events & details, and then responds to the piece on a personal level.

The students were excited to present their biome projects to the 1st graders and many parents who came to join us for the "museum opening."

A BIG thank you to all of the parents who came to Open House & the Art Gala.  The students in our class have to much talent and we are so proud of our friends who were showcased!
