l hope everyone had a wonderful break.
We want to continue to have the children read every night for at least 15 minutes. Encourage them to read from a variety of genres. We have been working with realistic fiction, folktales, fables and informational reading in the classroom. Also ask your child questions about their reading, this will help develop and reinforce their comprehension skills. Even though they are in third grade, they still enjoy when mom or dad read to them. Try it, you will both have a good time.

Also practice the math facts with your children. Addition and subtraction facts should be known by now. We are working on our multiplication facts. We need to know multiplication facts to the 10’s by the end of third grade. We will have a test on the 4’s at the end of the week.
