Today was a Marvelous Monday with beautiful snowflakes falling! This morning we worked really hard practicing our cursive letters. The third graders worked on forming letters a, g and d. In third grade math, we learned about lots of shortcuts for multiplication. Tonight your child will bring home a very colorful multiplication chart that we created today to share with you. This afternoon, we and discussed a great story entitled Sing to the Stars. Ask your child to share with you details of the story. This afternoon we enjoyed Ed TEch and Spanish!
