Week 10

“Nothing will work unless you do.” – Maya Angelou

Election Day is on Tuesday. Please make sure you get out and vote!

Veteran Day is on Friday, and we have the day off. Please remember the veterans who serve and protect our country.

 

Math

We are having a test on Chapter 3 on Wednesday.  It will cover understanding multiplication. I will have extra help at 7:30 on Wednesday morning.  We began Rocket Math last week. Please review Rocket Math papers every day. Taking the time to memorize multiplication facts in 3rd grade is so important to your child’s success in Math in future grades. Please review them nightly.
