MAP Testing
We will be MAP testing during Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday next week. MAP testing is the Measure of Academic Progress test. We use the data that we receive from the tests to better differentiate instruction inside the classroom. I would like to remind parents that students need rest the night before and a good breakfast to start their day. This will ensure that they can focus during their test time and will be successful.
Field trip
Our field trip to Barkhausen will be on this coming Tuesday, 9/20. We will be spending the day outdoors, so please dress your child appropriately for the weather. If they/you choose a lunch from home please make sure they remember that the morning of.
Back to school night
Thursday, September 22nd, is an informative night for parents. The schedule went home in the Brown Envelope on Tuesday. Please join us to hear about what 3rd grade entails and what cool things we are doing this year.
Academics
This week in math we are continuing to work on introducing all multiplication facts and relating them to division. If you have any questions on homework papers, please have your child bring them in to me in the morning and we will work together to complete it.
We are "rocking" out in science class. We have just started our Rocks/Minerals/Soils . Students will be making flipbooks for study guides and creating editable models of rocks!! They will "dig" this unit!
