3rd Grade News
January 30th - February 3rd
Happy Monday!
Welcome back! We hope everyone had a relaxing weekend!
This week we have a Science Test on Wednesday. Science notebooks started coming home last week for your child to use study with.
Next week we will continue with multiplication timed tests. Students that have passed x2 will be taking the x3 test. We are very proud of how they did today. Students were prepared and excited about taking their timed test.
After winter break, we have noticed that several students have lost supplies such as scissors, glue, and crayons. Please check with your child to see if they are in need of any supplies. Thank you!
