November-Thanksgiving Break

Thanksgiving Break We are so proud of all of the third graders who have stepped up and learned their multiplication facts. We hope that students will continue to practice while they are eating leftover turkey. Keep reading. The third graders have taken the challenge to read 25 minutes five or more days a week. We are going to see which class reads the most during November. Math We have moved on to division and will be working on our math fact families of multiplication and division until Christmas. Reading We hope students are asking questions as they read at home. We are working on Author's meaning, inference and compare & contrast. Great Brain Reports The focus for November and December is Different Cultures and Customs Around the World. Students may due a report on any country/culture they know about or want to learn about and what the country does during the holiday season. Talk to your child's teacher to set up a time for your child to present their report. Winter Reminder Please have your student bring to school their coats, hats, and gloves. We do go outside on good days even if it might be cold. Please put their name on their personal items so if they are lost we can find them. IF you child has lost their coat or other belongings please check our lost and found bin. Just ask at the office where it is located. Please call the school if your child is home ill or you are planning a trip that will take them out of school. Thank you for all your support this year. We teachers could not do it with out you. We are so enjoying working with your students. Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving Holiday. School will start again on November 26. Christmas break will start on December 21 at noon.
