Reading Bags will continue to come home every TUESDAY.  Please have your child read the book throughout the week and complete the assignment.  Unless otherwise stated, the assignment is to answer the 3 questions at the back of the book.  Students need to copy the question, then answer the question in a complete sentence.  Students must put their name on the paper along with a title (which is the title of the book).  The past assignments have been missing lots of important information and several students have not been turning in their bags on time.  Please make sure the Reading Bag is returned every MONDAY, so I have time to collect the old books and distribute new books.

We are currently starting Unit 5 in Math on place value up to 7 digits.  Students should continue to practice their multiplication facts because we will revisit multiplication in Unit 7.  By the end of third grade, students are expected to have mastered multiplication up to 10×10.
