Week of Oct. 16-18

• This is a 3-day week(no school on Thurs. and Friday).  The annual convention for teachers is on Thursday and Friday.
• I will not be having spelling words this week due to the fact that it is a short one.  I will be reviewing high frequency words with the students this week.
• Thank you for signing and returning the Health quiz this week. We will be moving into a unit of Social Studies next week.
• I sent off our book orders on Wed. so I am hoping that they will be here by this Wed.
• Gr. 3 math- this month we are focusing on math facts to 18 and skip counting by 3,4,5,10,25, and 100 forward and backward to 1000.   The students should be practicing their facts on a nightly basis.  They need to have a 3 second recall.
• Please be sure your child is reading for 20 min. each evening and sign the purple log.  We are about to finish our first read aloud called "Wonder" and the students have been hanging on every word!
• Students are working on recount writing and will be having a piece due Wednesday, Oct. 18 approx.  I may change this date depending on how much we get done next week. 
• Have a great week everyone!
