Mansfield Public Library Field Trip

Please don't forget that we are going to the Mansfield Public Library on Thursday, February 20, 2014!  We must have permission slips by Wednesday!

Valentine's Day Party/Geometry Test

The snow may have postponed Valentine's Day, but it has not canceled it!  We will celebrate Valentine's Day on Wednesday when we return to school.  We hope you have had happy and safe loooooong weekend!

Our Geometry test has also been postponed. We will complete a review by Thursday and hope to assess on Friday.  If, for some reason that does not work out, we will assess the following week.  We will keep you posted!

Thank you for your ongoing support!

Geometry

Hi Families!  On Friday we will administer a Geometry review for our upcoming Unit Assessment.  Students will complete the review in class, we will go over it together and it will come home in the Friday Folder.  Please look out for the review so that you can practice, discuss, and review concepts that will appear on the Assessment that will be administered on Wednesday or Thursday of next week!

The Mansfield Public Library

The third grade will be visiting the Mansfield Public Library on Thursday, February 20, 2014!  

Valentine's Day

Hello families!  On Friday, February 14, 2014 we will be celebrating Valentine's Day!  We are going to have a red food theme, so if you would like to send in goodies, make sure they are red.  There are 39 students in third grade.

  A class list will come home in the Friday Folders this week, so keep an eye out.

 Remember, students do not have to make valentine cards; however, if they do, they must make one for every child in the classroom.

Homework Expectations

As a check-in with the new homework system we wanted to reintroduce expectations:

Reading: Students should read every night for at least 10 minutes and record the title and number of pages read on their homework logs.

Website Work:  Students should work for at least 10 minutes on a category outlined below OR the Home Connection. 

Each website needed for this is linked to the blog.  Students may search for new math websites to practice facts with your permission and guidance.  There is a place on the homework log to record new sites used.

Online Homework: 
Typing Club
Spelling Practice
Math Fact Practice

Students should check off which category they practiced online each night.  (Unless of course they worked on the Home Connection, then they would check off the Home Connection section.)

Home Connection: Most weeks (next week 1-20-14 being an exception) a Home Connection is sent home. It is the expectation that at some point during the week the Home Connection is completed, checked off, and kept at home. These reinforce math that is happening in class as support for student learning, as well as learning information for families.

If you have further questions or concerns, please email us.

Have a fabulous weekend!

A New Year, A New Routine!

We hope you all had a fabulous winter break and would like to wish you happiness and health in the new year!

We have a new routine beginning tonight with homework.  Students will only have to fill in their homework logs and will do all other work online!  We will make all sites that students have to use available from this blog.  Since we are just beginning this, please let us know how it is working out at home and if there are any changes that need to be implemented!

Thank you for your ongoing support!
