From the Teacher:
Please remember third graders do have to follow dress code. The dress code is described in more detail in the Rights and Responsibilities book and the Student Handbook. In math class this week, we will be studying fact families, missing addends, Addition Properties, 2-Digit Addition and Subtraction With and Without Regrouping. These skills are all found in Chapter 1 in our Math book. We will have a math test on Chapter 1 on Thursday of this week. In Grammar this week we will study Commands and Exclamations; we will test on these on Friday.
