Newsletter 1/22 - 2/1

Welcome back after a nice, long weekend.  Here is an update of things to come over the next 2 weeks:

Keyboarding-  We have scheduled the computer lab on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.  There will be a keyboarding assignment sent home on these nights in addition to the regular homework.  Each keyboarding homework will be worth 20 points.

Daily 5- No changes from the last 2 weeks.  But I do encourage you to support your child in the South Elementary writing contest.  It is not mandatory, but we have such great writers that would represent our 3rd grade very well!  If you need the rules sent home or emailed, please let me know.

Vocabulary- As you probably noticed, I forgot to send the vocabulary cards home until the end of last week.  The students will be tested on the 4 new words this Friday.  Sorry about the mix-up!

Math- We're finishing up our chapter on Patterns and Relationships.  Next chapter will be on Solids and  Shapes.

Times Tables-  All times tables are now being passed off.  Our regular pass-off day is Wednesday.  If your child is ready on another day, please send a little note to let me know they are ready.  I'm pleased with the work the students are doing at home!

*Book Orders-  I have sent home a couple of book orders today.  They will be due on Tues., Jan. 29th. I have included my teacher code and encourage you to order online if possible.

Have a wonderful week!
