January 23rd-27th has proven to be a very busy week in Mrs. Hidalgo’s classroom. We started off the week with a new addition to our classroom, Ms. Quintanilla (Ms. Q), a UTSA student teacher. The students are excited and ready to show Ms. Q our leadership and hard-working skills! This week the students hard-work paid off! I am very proud of each of them for their work on the reading and math benchmarks. I am excited for them to share at Student-Led conferences, how they did and what they want to work on before STAAR in May. I believe in each of them 100%! If you haven’t already, please sign-up for the Student-Led Conferences, February 7th & 8th. Your child is going to have the opportunity to share and discuss his/her goals and accomplishments in third grade. Click on the link to sign-up, http://www.signupgenius.com/go/805094baaa928a02-studentled1. Thank you to all of you who have already signed-up! Please view the Third Grade Tracks under “classroom news” and as always, let me know if you have any questions on upcoming events. Cordially, Mrs. Hidalgo...

Wow, what a beginning to 2017! I had a very relaxing and enjoyable holiday but was so ready to see all the smiling faces in my classroom. We have rolled right into our 3rd 9-weeks and continue to laugh, share, and learn as a team. This week we began our research on Natural Disasters! Mrs. Watts invited us into the library for an entire day where we spent researching in books and through digital websites. I was so proud of the entire class and how hard they worked on getting all of their information done. This next week we will spend a 1/2 day in the library beginning to create their Natural Disaster informational boards. The great thing, your child will be able to work on their board at home and school. Be sure to ask them what they have learned about their disaster. We have also delved into multiplying 2-digit by 1-digit multiplication. Ask your child how to solve 36X4 using partial products or the algorithm. They are working hard. It is very important that they continue to work on their basic multiplication facts through 12X12. This next week we will dig deeper into division. I know they are going to get this. At the end of January we will be taking our Reading and Math Benchmarks. Here are a few things I am asking for the next couple of weeks: Please try to avoid using homework passes for Math (students already know they can’t use homework passes on reading). The homework coming home is going to help prepare them for the benchmarks on January 25th and 26th....
