Homework- Read and complete 100 subtraction facts to practice computation

It is very important to continue practicing basic facts so that memorization can occur. There is not much time for counting in 3rd grade. The basic facts are needed to build understanding of more challenging concepts in math.

We took our Math Pretest today for the first nine weeks. The information from this test will allow me to form flexible math groups based on their mastery level of each concept that was on the pretest. This test was not for a grade. The purpose was to see what the students already know and then plan instruction based on the data. I will share the pretest with you at Open House.

It has been fun getting to know the students with their Me Bags. We will be using them for a writing activity on Friday.

Spelling and Vocabulary will begin next week. Please make sure you have purchased the Vocabulary Book from the School Store.

The Art Sketch Books are in. If you pre-ordered, your child will label their sketch book and take them to art class tomorrow. If you still need to order one, print the order form from the PTSA website. They are $4.50.
