A glimpse into your child's past week! December 4
Important Reminder: Late Start is this coming Wednesday, 12/9!
We are picking up the pace a bit in third grade. Partly because I know that given a challenge the kids can rise to meet it, and partly because 'tis the season to get into a little mischief...regardless of whichever Elf may or may not be watching. (Can you please remind your child that those little elves follow them to school?!?!?)
Holiday Store - this coming WEDNESDAY afternoon
Holiday Party
SCIENCE
Finally, opaque objects block all light, translucent objects let in some light, and transparent objects let all light through.
SOCIAL STUDIES
MATH
We are in the midst of Topic 5. Students have learned how to multiply by 2, 5, 0, 1, 9 and 10. We will continue to practice these facts next week. We will review for our Topic 5 Test on Wednesday and will take our actual Topic 5 Test on Thursday.
We have also begun Multiplication Sundae quick quizzes. This means that students will be taking an (almost) daily quick quiz on the fact that they are working to master. Once they pass the quick quiz (40 problems, all correct in 3 minutes), they will earn a portion of their sundae. Our actual Sundae Party will take place in February, but it's important to get working on memorizing the facts NOW!!!
