Academic Update
Literacy - We'll a couple of days discussing the topic of prediction and following up with fact vs. fiction. Today I read a story called Once Upon A Cool Motorcycle Dude by Kevin O'Malley. Just by showing the kiddos the front and back covers of the book, they were spot on with their predictions!
Intercambios- Third graders will be starting with Sr. Martínez tomorrow! When we come back in January, they'll be with me learning Ancient China. Yay!
Spelling - One group of students has the syllables sa, so, su, ce, ci. All the initial consonants make the same "s" sound. The other group of students has the syllables au, eu. Word sorts will be attached to the e-mail! Your son/daughter will recognize their words!

Website of the Week
http://interactivesites.weebly.com/division.html
We're starting division after the test this week! Above is a website with some division games. Below is a great video on basic division. It's about 17 minutes long so watching the whole thing isn't necessary, but a few minutes would be worth it! Khan Academy has some great information/videos to share.
