Hello parents,

I can’t believe the 2018 is almost over. We only have 3 full days of school left but there is so much to do! I am very proud of all the hard work and growth the students have been doing.

A few reminders:

-Wednesday is the last day for candy gram.

-The homework packet will be due on Thursday.

-I sent a math project with your child yesterday and it is due Thursday. I received many of them today and they look awesome! I will post a sample on the class story of the end product. We will continue working on the are robots on Thursday and Friday.

-Classroom parties will be Thursday from 2:30-3:15. 3rd grade team will be ordering pizza and watching a movie. Parents are welcome to join us. If you would like to send treats, there are 20 students.

-Friday we will take a mid-module quiz about area models. IXL is a great resource to use for practice on area. I have starred the area skills under geometric measurements.

-3rd grade team is not sending a packet home for winter break. We still need students to read and write daily for an hour. In addition, practice multiplication facts by skip counting. Again, IXL is a great resource to use for extra practice. It is important to make sure your child is doing this daily during the break because when we come back, NWEA testing will start. We need to make sure that your child will maintain all the growth and hard work they’ve been working on for the past few months.

-If you have any questions, please let me know.

Enjoy your break with your children 🙂

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!!!!

Mrs. Attia

Hello parents,

Just a few reminders:

-Tomorrow is the last day for the holiday shop, every item will be $2. Please send in an envelope or bag with the amount you sent with your child. Also, you could make a list of who they are purchasing for, just in case they forget.

– The math homework packet is due Monday.

-please sign the math and spelling test then return.

-We did get 13 lap trays for the class! Thank you for supporting our students learning and comfort.

– Next week will be our classroom holiday party. I will be ordering pizza for class and we will watch a movie. If you would like to send treats for the class to enjoy, we have 21 students. I will send more details as soon as I get more information from Mr. Martin. If you have any questions please let me know.

Enjoy your evening,

Mrs. Attia

Hello parents,

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend.

We will continue working on module 3 for math on multiplication and division. If your child is still struggling, I suggest more practice of the skip counting. I am sending strips home with the skip counting facts from 2-9, not including 5. This is a much efficient strategy than just memorizing facts.

I will send the module 3 study guide on Tuesday and the test will be on Friday. It is important to study the study guide which has a similar format to the test but with different numbers.

We are started a new science unit on climate and weather. We talked about air and how it changes. We also talked about the water cycle. This week we will focus on the question: Where do clouds come from? Have your child check the weather and temperature daily so they can observe and feel what it means to be 30 degrees or 10 degrees.

For writing, we are working towards our final draft on one of the three fires tribe. Students will publish their writing via google classroom.

For ELA, we are working on Main idea and details which is a difficult strategy for many students. IXL has lots of questions that students can use for additional practice.

Please remember to send your child with a winter jacket, gloves, hats and boots for outdoor recess. Unless it is raining/snowing or very low temperature, students will go out for recess.

Just a friendly reminder for the lap tray. I know they are available at Micheal’s for $7 each which will cost me about $147 for a class set. If anyone would like to purchase a few trays for the class, we would be thankful. They don’t ship so you will have to pick up from the store. I will share the link with you, if you are interested. Even if we don’t get a class set, anything can help. Thank you for your support! There is a 30% coupon that you can use too! I will post a picture on the story if you can’t open the link.
