Upcoming Week 6

This week, we have had our first Tiny Scientist visit. You may have seen the tongue depressor catapults used to demonstrate the concept of force to provide movement. The kids had a lot of fun and we continued working with that concept in class.

Next week, we will have our first math test on Wednesday. We have begun reviewing in class the major concepts taught and practiced test taking skills. If you would like to help your child study the basic skills, please feel free to have your child practice with these links:

• https://www.ixl.com/math/grade-3/subtract-numbers-up-to-three-digits
• https://www.ixl.com/math/grade-3/add-two-numbers-up-to-three-digits
• https://www.ixl.com/math/grade-3/estimate-sums-word-problems
• https://www.ixl.com/math/grade-3/estimate-differences-word-problems

You can also help provide your child with additional practice by doing problems that were not assigned on the other side of the homework sheet.

Here's what is happening next week: 

• Schools are closed due to Columbus Day on Monday.
• We have an Armory visit on Tuesday. It is also our regular gym day so please makes sure your child is dressed for movement and is wearing sneakers for running. 
• Chapter 1 Math test on Wednesday. This test will focus on addition, subtraction and estimation.

Have a lovely long weekend!
