Week 18
“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” – Lao Tzu
Please makee sure you mark your calendars. We will be singing in chapel on Sunday, January 28th at the 9:00 service. A note from Mr. DeVries was sent home two weeks ago. Please make sure that you contact him with any questions. I am looking forward to seeing you all on that day.
Math
We are continuing our work with division. We will be having our chapter test early next week. We have Rocket Math homework every day in addition to our regular Practice Book homework. Please review Rocket Math papers every day. 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.
