September Newsletter

Wow!  We are Superheroes in 3rd grade!


The children had an awesome first month of school getting reacquainted with old friends and making new friends. We learned many facts about Constitution Day! In math, most of the classes finished Chapter 1.  The testing format is very rigorous, something the students are not familiar with yet. Please practice addition and multiplication facts daily. Within the next few months, the goal should be to answer any fact in one second.  A 50 problem timed test should take less than one minute. All students should have a daily quiet reading time at home.  Students have the opportunity to take an AR test on the books they have read.  I-Ready is available to help students with math and reading skills. The curriculum is differentiated based on a diagnostic test taken in school. The username is their 10 digit number and the password is their birthday without the slashes.  Make sure you check backpacks and agendas on a regular basis. Please see our third grade web site for additional information.
