We Survived the Snow!!!!!!!

Hello dear parents!!!!! We all survived the snow!!!!!  Yay!!!  Any who, moving on to the millions of miles that we must go before we sleep.  Here are some reminders and updates as we move on into February.

Multiplication Facts

It is a third grade math standard that students know their multiplication facts by the time they leave third grade.  Many students have passed up through their 12's and have begun division facts.  Some students are still stuck on their 3's and 4's.  Please help your child to practice their math facts each night.  Just 20 minutes per night practicing flashcards will help your child to learn their multiplication facts.

Spelling

Over the next two weeks, we will have some changes in our schedule due to our snow days.  First, last week's spelling test will be Wednesday, February 5, 2014.  Students will need to study last week's words tonight and Tuesday night.  They will need to finish any unfinished spelling homework by Wednesday morning. 

Students will receive a new poem and words on Wednesday, February 5.  This homework will be due on Wednesday, February 12, 2014.  We will test on the new spelling words on this day as well.

Math Test

Our fractions test that was scheduled for last week will be given tomorrow.  We reviewed for the test in class today.  You should also see a review sheet tonight for students to study.  Please ask your child about this study guide.  We want tot make sure that they are ready for their test tomorrow.

Winter Break

Winter Break will be Thursday, February 13- Tuesday, February 18, 2014.  There will be a reading log assigned over this break.  Please remind your child to read over the break and complete this log. 
Also since Valentine's Day will fall during the break, we will celebrate Valentine's Day on Wednesday, February 12, 2014. Students will be able to pass out Valentine's Cards and treats. 

Donations Please

We have made it past the halfway point and are in needs of a few supplies.  Our pencils are running extremely low as well as our glue sticks.  Some students are starting to fill some of their interactive notebooks as well.  We would greatly appreciate it if you would kindly donate some pencils and glue sticks.  I will send a note in agendas if your child is in need of  new interactive notebook. Thanks in advance for your help.

Cereal Boxes

Our class is in need of several cereal boxes for a project that we will be completing.  Thanks to all parents who have already sent in cereal boxes.  We really appreciate your donations to our class.
Feel free to send in as many boxes as possible as you finish your cereal at home. We are collecting boxes for the entire grade level.

STEM Night

Next Tuesday, February 11, 2014 will be STEM Night. Students and parents may come and take part in several science and technology based activities.  This event will be 4:30- 6:30pm.  We look forward to seeing you Tuesday evening.
