Week 15
“All things good to know are difficult to learn.” – Greek Proverb
We will be rehearsing for the school play many times this week, so our schedule will be modified quite a bit. Please help your child with any lines that need to be memorized. Our Christmas Musical is on Tuesday, December 17th at 7pm.
We will be exchanging Christmas Cards with our classmates on Friday, December 20th. Please be on a look out for a note going home this week.
We have just started the second trimester. Please make sure that your child brings back his or her completed work folder on a regular basis. This is also a good time to make sure your child has all the necessary school supplies. Many of the students need new pencils and glue. Also check with your child if he or she is missing anything for “Pencil Case Praises”.
Math
We are working on Chapter 5 this week. 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.
