Tho fall OAA scores are in! Third grade overall did well, with our class having a 90% passage rate. This week, I plan on having student conferences to discuss each individual score with the kiddos. If you have any questions AT ALL, please text me or give me a call!
We are continuing to collect money for the Secret Santa child. The kiddos can bring in any amount of money through December 14th. That gives me time to shop! What a fabulous way for this class to pay it forward!
We have started our multiplication facts last week. Every week, we learn a new song/trick to help us memorize the facts. We've learned how multiplication is repeated addition, and also how to show multiplication as arrays. We really need to know the facts by heart, so that doesn't get in the way of the process. You will see a practice log coming home this week. Your child can practice any way that works for them...as long as they are practicing! Each Friday we will have a 2 minute quiz. They must achieve an 85% to pass. If they don't reach 85%, they still must study that set for the next. week. We will introduce new sets each week, and your child can retest on Wednesdays.
Mr. Saxton visited our class on Thursday! He spoke and answered their questions, then read Big Al. We made so many connections with the Seven Habits! He loved the class so much, he'd like to come back and teach a social studies lesson! Thanks, Mr. Saxton...you rock!!
Thank you for being a partner in your child's learning!
