Weekly Reminders

January 18, 2011

Dear Parents,

Good Afternoon! Just a quick update as we begin a new week. Corrected Work was sent home with your son/daughter today. The Folder and its Contents should be returned to me by Friday.

In class we are proceeding with our multiplication and division facts. This week the children should study the 2-6x’s tables. The timed tests this week will include the six times tables. Additional reinforcement at home is necessary for proficiency. The Math Project is due Thursday, January 27th, and the Word Problems of the Month are due Friday, January 28th.

The children should be reading twenty to thirty minutes each night. One night during the week the children are to post an entry on their Wiki. If Internet access is not available at home, please have your child write the entry on binder paper and he/she will post it on his/her Wiki in the Computer Lab. The children should answer one of the questions under Topics for Journal Entries. The entry should be written in paragraph form and be seven to ten sentences in length. This week the entry is due Friday morning. In class, this week the children will read “Sam and the Lucky Money”. The focus will be the role of the setting in a story.

Please check your child’s school supplies as children are without sharpened pencils in the morning. Each third grader should have the following supplies each day:
Homework notebook, neatly written and signed
3-4 sharpened pencils
2 PeeChee type folders
Colored pencils/crayons
A red pen or pencil
A pair of scissors
Textbooks must be covered

As always, please contact me with any questions or comments.

Sincerely,
Ms. Maguire
