Week 15
“All things good to know are difficult to learn.” – Greek Proverb
We have just started the second trimester, and all the children are working hard in the classroom. I truly appreciate their work.
On Thursday, we are going on a virtual field trip to the National Museum of Natural History. We will be learning about how insects survive in their environment.
Math
We are finishing Chapter 5 this week. The test is on Friday. Also, children should be practicing their multiplication facts. 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. We start division next week!
