Hello!
Just a few reminders
- please continue helping your child with their math facts. When they go to fourth grade, the teachers will not be teaching the facts to your kids. It is assumed that they know them and will move onto harder math concepts involving memorized facts.
- AR points this quarter are set at 20 points. 5 of those points must be non-fiction!
- report cards come home this Friday.
Reading - We just finished writing our research papers and the kids did an amazing job. We will be reading some stories from our reading book. The kids will be bringing home a copy to read to you.
Math - My class continues to work on multiplication and division.
Social Studies - My homeroom has a test on "Where do we live" this Wednesday, January 29. A study guide was sent home on Monday.
Spelling : ( concept; suffixes) ending, wished, asked, guessing, laughing, dreamed, rained, meeting, sleeping, handed, painted, filled, reading, subtracted, thanked, waited, scared, and walked.
Have a good week! Mrs. STaffileno
