Each Monday students will be given a practice facts test. If they miss 2 or less they will move on to the next test. All students will receive a practice test that they must do for homework. This will help them prepare for the graded test that they will take on Friday. Students will work at their own pace. Some students may go quickly through the addition and subtraction facts and move on to multiplication. While others will need a little more time with addition and subtraction. Please work with your child at home if you see that they are having difficulties. We are currently counting money in math. Please practice with your child at home. Most of them are doing very well, but a few need extra practice. Grab and handful of change and give them a little quiz. We will also be working on counting back change. This is a hard concept for many third graders. Next week we will be telling time. Please practice this at home as well. We are wrapping up our science unit this week. We will begin social studies next week. We will be working on time lines. Your child will need to bring in 5 pictures to create their own time line. They will need a baby picture, most recent photo and 3 in between. They will need to be able to write a sentence or two that describes something special about that time in their life. These turn out really cute and we will display in the hallway when they are complete. Come by and take a look!!!!
