Week of January 11-15

We are so pleased to welcome the addition of another student to our 3rd grade classroom! Welcome, Josephine & family!

 
Math
Due to Covid related concerns, it is important that each student has his/her own complete set of flashcards. Thank you for your help and understanding!
  • 2nd Grade: Students should bring their math flashcards back to school.
  • 3rd Grade: If your child has not yet brought a complete set of multiplication & division flashcards to school, please do so as soon as possible. Only send flashcards that are complete sets.  As indicated on the supply list that was shared in the summer, a complete set of multiplication flashcards has 169 cards and a division set has 156.
  • 4th Grade: If students happen to have multiplication & division flashcards from last year, please have them bring them back to school. However, only send flashcards that are complete sets.  See 3rd grade note above. 
Science
Students are working hard to determine what the five unknown substances are from the current Einstein kit. They're using some of their senses to make observations and they're enjoying the unit!
