3rd Grade News

Dear Third Grade Parents, 

      Our Third Graders worked extra hard this week during TTT. They completed a reading assessment to help us know how well they are putting into practice the skills they have been learning as readers and writers. And in Math they also worked on a checkpoint to practice multiplication. We are happy to collect this meaningful data and we want to celebrate their growth. WAY TO GO TIGERS! We would like to ask for your support in having your child bring 2 to 3 items made in different countries.
