Dear Parents,
The time is quickly approaching for reporting 3rd quarter grades. This week we will be taking assessments to insure that all students have mastered their third quarter standards.
As always, the student s give me their best daily. Also, through guided reading and guided math lessons we are able to check on understanding of concepts before we move on to new concepts.
Here are a few reminders that students can work towards:
o Add and Subtract Math facts to 18 for mastery I’m looking for 30 problems in 3 minutes.
 Blake Daws has already mastered the 100 problems in 5 minutes.
o Money and Coins including bills to $20.00. Key words to remember “Fair Trade”.
o Clock time – hour and ½ hour.
o Geometric Shapes, identified by how many sides and what shape is made on the flat side.
o Write a “Homerun Sentence” This includes the who, what, where, and why that you are expressing.
o Spelling Words:
This includes days of the week, months of the year, color words, number words, and digit words 0 though 10.
Monday you will receive the information for our zoo field trip on Wednesday, March 23. Please return it to me as soon as possible.
