January 5 Parent Letter

Parents,

Welcome back to school. I would like to thank all of you for the kind and thoughtful gifts I received from the students for Christmas. The children are such a blessing to me.

We are back to our regular schedule. I will be trying extra hard to get all the lessons in each day. Please encourage your child to keep up with their daily work, and try to read a book each day.

Third graders—remember that before the break we began the 7 multiplication facts. Let’s get back in the habit of practicing our flash cards at home each night. Keep up the work on division. Next week we will divide by 7.

Expect a take home Health Test on Wednesday night. This will close out Chapter 3 so that we can begin Chapter 4 on Thursday. Students should take their book home to do the test.

Again, I hope all had a great and wonderful Christmas and New Year’s.

P.S. Report cards come home tomorrow. Science Test will be on Friday this week.
