3rd Grade End of Year Fact Expectations:
Students should have quick mental recall of the following number of facts by the end of the year: 30 addition/30 subtraction facts in 2 mins and 50 division/50 multiplication facts in 3 mins
Science:
Please continue to collect and bring in 2 ltr. clear soda bottles. We have enough for the Land and Water science unit. However, we will need lots more (approx. 30 bottles) for the ecosystems unit, which is taught later on in the year. Wash out the bottle. Remove the label. Keep the cap on.
4th Grade Math:
Tonight’s homework is to complete the review. We had a lot of time in class to start. Tonight we also need to study our addition and subtraction facts for 10 minutes (any way you want!). We also have online fact quizzes due Friday. The codes are NTXM5559 and CSRJ4338. We are practicing our addition and subtraction facts as we will have an addition/subtraction fact test along with our Unit 1 test this Friday! Yesterday we received our first math project of the year called a Geometry Museum. This project is due on October 7th! If you received the email about purchasing math tools, please know that there is only one that I recommend. It is the fourth grade geo-template. Your child will use that throughout the year and it would be so helpful for him/her to have it in his/her binder all the time!

Please make sure your child has a good book with him/her each day! We usually have 15 minutes of silent reading time each day!
Please check your child's Blue Take Home Folder each day to check for mail, homework, and important information.
PLEASE INITIAL YOUR CHILD’S PLANNER EACH NIGHT SO I KNOW YOU ARE AWARE OF THE HOMEWORK AND EXCITING THINGS HAPPENING IN OUR CLASSROOM!
IT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOUR CHILD TO BRING SHARPENED PENCILS TO SCHOOL EACH DAY! PLEASE PROVIDE YOUR CHILD WITH A PERSONAL PENCIL SHARPENER TO KEEP IN HIS/HER BINDER!!!
PLEASE SEND YOUR CHILD WITH A WATER BOTTLE!!! This helps a lot, so he/she does not have to leave the room when thirsty! Your child is also welcome to keep healthy snacks in our classroom to eat any time!
