Hello B1 Families,
ANNOUNCEMENTS
GATE Testing: This week, 3rd graders will be taking the GATE test. The GATE test is a 3-part test that will be on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. These tests will be done on the computer in a similar format to the IABs we did last week. Students will be assessed in verbal reasoning (language and vocabulary), quantitative reasoning (math and patterns), and nonverbal skills (shapes and logic). Please ensure your child is on time this week as we will be starting the test promptly in the morning.
100th Day of School: We will be celebrating 100 days of school on February 4th! Students are welcome to dress up as a 100 year old for this day, but it is not required.
Valentine's Day: Your child may bring a valentine to share with the class on Friday, February 13th. We do ask that you have your child write only their name, not the recipient's name on the item. This will help the passing out process. We have 30 students in our class.
OUR WEEK AT A GLANCE
Math: This week, students will be continuing Module 4. We will be working on lessons 6-9. Please make sure your child is practicing multiplication facts for at least 10 minutes a night. It is very important that they are fluent in multiplication facts. If you would like to print a set of flashcards, visit this site. We will have a multiplication test on Friday.
Reader's Workshop: Students will be engaging in centers this week that will involve independent practice, technology, small groups with teacher, and independent reading.
Writer's Workshop: We will begin our President research project this week. Students will be receiving a President that they will research and write an informational paragraph about.
Studies Weekly: Students will be learning different themes of geography in week 6 of Studies Weekly this week.
P.E.: Please dress appropriately on Monday for P.E every week.
