Students will rotate around to all of the third grade classes and complete an activity or craft in each of the five rooms.

Happy Holidays!!!!!!

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  I had a great break, relaxed, and got some rest.  Hopefully, we are all ready to work extremely hard for the three weeks before we have our winter holiday break. Here are just a few reminders.

Graded Papers

Graded papers will come home this week on Wednesday, December 4, 2013.  As always, please review your child's papers with them. This practice helps to strengthen your child's academic knowledge.

Multiplication Facts

Students have until Friday, December 20, 2013 to have mastered their multiplication facts 1's - 10's.  Please help your child with these.  We are going to be taking time tests everyday to try to help students master this goal.  Please help your child to study. Remember, multiplication facts are one of the most important skills that your child will ever learn.
