This week, we are continuing to work on inferring in our reading.  Ask your child:

What do you think that character is like?    How do you know?  Where in the text did you figure that out?


In math we are working on telling time.  Some of our students are struggling with this.  Please be sure to practice telling time on an analog clock at home.  Also, we are working on our chapter 2 math vocabulary and you can expect to see new matching vocabulary cards coming home next week.

CRAFT MONEY - A note went home with your child requested $3 for upcoming Thanksgiving and Christmas crafts.  If you have not already turned in this money, please send it in an envelope with your child next week.  The kids really enjoy making these crafts!

Class Days:
- Gym is on Monday and Friday.  Please make sure to bring tennis shoes on these days in order to participate.  

-- Library is on Monday.  Please remember to return your book on this day, even if you plan to keep it for another week (so it can be re-checked out).

-- A.R. is on Tuesdays.  Third Graders are required to take and pass 5 tests at their level per marking period.

-- Spelling pre-tests are on Thursdays. Your child will bring home his/her yellow paper. Please review the words and sign the paper and return it on Friday.  These signed papers are part of your child's spelling grade.
