A few things for you to know about:

Word Work Words went home yesterday. These words will be worked on and studied in class for two weeks. We will have a spelling dictation test next Friday 9/26. The words are:  along, while, might, next, sound, about, because, have, from, which    Please help your child practice these words at home.

In third grade, we learn and study our multiplication facts. To help us learn in a fun way, we use a multiplication sundae. We will do fact quizzes on Fridays. When a student passes the quiz they will earn a piece to their sundae. This is a ‘go at your own pace’ activity. It’s a fun way to challenge ourselves and help us practice our facts. We will be working on our sundaes most of the year. We celebrate by eating sundaes (the ingredients that have been earned) at the end of the school year! Please help your child practice their facts at home!

We have been studying location in social studies. A short quiz will be tomorrow. It will cover: 

Absolute Location:   The exact location of a place. Like an address.
Relative Location:  The location of a place in relation to another place.
Ex: our school is by Jet’s pizza.

We have also been studying direction words and how to use them as it relates to Michigan. Example:  Michigan is north of Indiana, Michigan is south of Canada.

Please study these concepts at home tonight!
