Week of Oct. 10-13

• I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
• Please continue reading 20 min each night. Some of the duotangs are not getting signed, so please remember to do so.
• We had a health quiz on Thursday.  I will hand them back to be signed once everyone has the quiz written.  Please sign and return to school.  Our next unit will be a social studies unit on what it means to be an explorer.
• Math quiz for gr. 3 will be going home on Tuesday.  Please sign and return to me.  This month we are focusing on math facts to 18 and skip counting by 5,10,100,3,4 and 25 forwards and backwards.  Please be practicing the adding and subtracting facts each night. I did send home a couple of laminated fact sheets/strategies, however the flash cards from the dollar store are a great way to practice as well. The students love these!
• Book orders are due Wednesday, Oct. 11th.
• The students completed some Thanksgiving writing pieces and they are displayed in our room.  These will be going into their scrapbooks and you can have a peek at parent teacher interviews.  The other pieces of writing that I will be assessing will always come home to you to see, sign and return to school (I keep it throughout the year).  Our next writing piece will be some descriptive writing pieces on Halloween and personal recounts.  
• Thank you for all of your support at home and have a great week!
