Hello! I hope you all are enjoying this weekend. We have completed our first week and are off to a great start! Yesterday your child brought home a Friday Letter notebook. Inside this notebook is their first letter to you about what they experienced in school during this first week. Attached to the inside front cover is a letter to you explaining the many purposes of this Friday letter. I am requesting that you respond in a letter format back to them each week. You may respond on the same page under their letter, or on the next page. I thank you in advance for your responses. It is my hope that this increases your child's communication with you about their time in school and at the end of the year, they will have an entire notebook filled with memories from third grade!
We have a busy week ahead! Last Thursday we made globes and we will be painting them early this week. In addition, we'll learn some vocabulary associated with maps and globes. In reading, we'll learn how our classroom library is set up, how to choose appropriate books, and how to write what we're thinking as we're reading. In math, we'll be expanding place value concepts to numbers in the thousands. We will soon be having weekly addition and subtraction math fact quizzes. Please be sure you are practicing these facts with your child.
I look forward to seeing all of you at Open House this Thursday, the 13th, at 6:00pm.
