November 2013
Here we go!! November begins and so does MULTIPLICATION in 3rd grade! I will send home some things you can use at home to practice multiplication. Flashcards are a cheap but perfect investment. There are also many apps and online games that your student can use to practice multiplication facts at home. We will approach this new learning from several different angles with concept building activities and games but there is no substitution for good ol' memorization! Please mark your calendar for picture day this Thursday, November 7th. Comb your hair and make sure traces of your breakfast are not still on your sweet face! We will "preview" the book fair on Friday, November 8th. Kids will have the opportunity to purchase books the following week, November 11th-15th.
