Good morning! It is hard to believe our Thanksgiving holiday is upon us. The 2nd 9-weeks is flying by! It has been an awesome week learning about equal groups, studying our multiplication facts, writing about personal experiences, and looking at how energy produces so many things. As you know, next week is a holiday and the school will not be open. The week we return, Dec. 4th, 6-week progress reports will be distributed. If you have an opportunity, over the holiday, look through the binder, return any work your child may have that is below a 70. We have 3 more weeks in this 9-week grading period. Click on classroom news to view the Third Grade Tracks! I have also added the Rumor (math strategies) and the Reading Strategy information to this page for future use. A note is going home today and in the newsletter there is a reminder to bring a flashlight to school on Monday, Nov. 30th. We will be using this flashlight in Science. I hope everyone has a fabulous Thanksgiving week! Relax, have fun, and enjoy your time with family. For those traveling to other places, safe travels to you and your family. Cordially, Mrs....

Wednesday we had a beautiful ceremony in honor of our Veterans! Again, thank you to those of you who came to celebrate with us. We all appreciate your honor and dedication to our country.

If they didn’t no worries, it is just a tool to help them and myself find where we need to focus and work. It definitely was not an easy test but they all worked very hard!
