Mrs. Keljo's Third Grade Class

Announcements:

We will not have anymore homework this year. Please, make it a point to continue to practice multiplication and division facts this summer with your child. I cannot stress how important it is to know these fluency as they head into fourth grade next year. It will just make it easier. Please, also look for opportunities to read. Information came home on Friday about the Fortville Library Summer Reading Program. I will be sending more information home next week about some summer reading incentives. These two things will better prepare your child for fourth grade in the fall.

We will continue to practice T-Races to gear up for our T-Race competition. We will practice addition and multiplication. This is a great reminder to practice these facts at home.

Field Day: Field day will be held on the last day of school which is Thursday, May 30th.

Just a friendly reminder that when your child is absent, they will have some make up work sent home to complete. I do my best to get students caught up in the room when they return, but it is not always possible to finish everything. So, any help that can be given at home is greatly appreciated. Some assignments are graded, so if they are not completed that can drastically change the outcome of a grade.

Also, thank you so much to those of you that take the time to help your child complete the little bit of homework they have each night. It is truly building up confidence in them. One student came in today and said how excited they were to show their parents the fraction work we were doing in class and how easy it was for them to explain. These little things make such a difference and I thank you for that!

Reminders from the front office: Any student that needs to ride a bus in which he/she is not assigned must present the school with a Bus Change Form signed by his/her parent and signed by a school administrator. There is a 1:00pm deadline for a parent notification to the school for bus changes. Bus Change Forms may be found on the FES Website or in the office. Signed forms may be sent in with your child, emailed, or faxed by 1:00pm.
