Week of January 22-26

• I hope everyone had a great weekend!
• Please make sure students are reading 20 min each night and recording their books in their duotangs.
• In language arts, the students will have their biography posters due on Friday.  They will also be presenting these orally, so it would be a good idea to practice reading the sections out loud at home.

• Gr. 3 math-  please continue to review adding/subtracting facts to 18- these must be a 3 second recall by June :o).  We are also beginning our unit on Multiplication.  In grade 3, the focus is on showing a multiplication equation as an equal groups picture, an array, repeated addition and skip counting.   Very imp.    3x4=  we would say 3 groups of 4
• We are about to wrap up our rocks and minerals science unit. The students have been doing various activities in class. We will be having a quiz soon.  The students and I will decide on a date next week.  I will give them lots of time and have some review notes typed up for them as well.  
• Have a great week everyone!
