3rd Grade News
Dear Parents,
Our Third Graders have been working hard these weeks to learn structures and routines that will help them strive throughout the school year. We would also like to inform you that they will be working for the first time on their MAP Tests for Reading and Math these two upcoming weeks. Please keep in mind that this is an assessment that will help us know about your child’s learned skills. Do not create a stressful environment for them at home because of this.
Our mathematicians completed an addition table to review basic addition facts and discuss patterns among them. Please keep reinforcing reading time at home. Help your child choose a nice and cozy reading spot to read for 30 minutes every day and to record their reading in their Reading Log.
