Dear families, we have had a wonderful week getting to know each other with our brown bag biography presentations and practicing small group activities! It is exciting to work with such polite and cooperative students!

Due to Hurricane Florence and HCPS closing tomorrow we have adjusted our schedule for instruction. Next week in Math we will complete our unit on graphing. The students will have a test on graphing Tuesday, September 18. This will be a paper pencil test. On Thursday, September 20 the children will make up their citizenship test that was scheduled for tomorrow. I will send their notebooks for both subject areas home on Monday.
We are very excited for our first STEAM DAY lesson on Wednesday, September 19. We will be investigating how animals adapt to their surroundings, collecting data, and making graphs on the computer. Pleas come join us if you are able.
Third grade is offering each child a year’s subscription to Scholastic Magazine for the year at a reduced rate of $8. Every week your child will receive a magazine to read at school and then bring home to share with you! Please support your child’s education by donating $8 by October 1. Thank you!!
Today in your child’s take home folder there was an important document describing the NWEA MAPS test that our Third graders will take for the first time this year. We will take Reading on September 26 and Math on September 28. Please read this information and let me know if you have any questions.
