Everything that I assign, everything that I expect academically, everything that we, as a class, work on is with 1 goal in mind...life learning in preparation for 4th grade skills. Parents and Families-your help is absolutely vital! Read every day -with your child or monitor their reading time (20 minutes) at home. Review math homework , including multiplication facts and practice cold reads that are due on every Friday. Reinforce learning with encouragement, conversing with your child, and high expectations.

Thank you for all that you do to make sure your child's learning successful.

This week- students will have their cold read homework due on Friday. They are also expected to have 5 AR points as well as all 3 study island assignments completed. 
 
We will test on vocabulary words tomorrow (Tuesday, 1/11) and have our cold read assessment and grammar (contractions)/spelling tests on Friday. 
 
We are learning the scientific method in Science and will be doing 2 science experiments this week. One whole group and then one in small group. Ask your child what they have learned and observed. =)
