Week of 1/29

Dear families,
Can you believe your child is half way through third grade already? January 29 begins the third nine week of the 2018/2019 school year. We had so much fun today at Hermitage High School Technical Center celebrating our PAW (perserverance-attitude-work ethic) achievements!
Next week we will be reviewing Reading and Math to prepare for semester benchmarks. The schedule is as follows: Reading benchmark: Wednesday and Thursday, January 30-31 and Math Wednesday and Thursday February 6-7. Parents I need your help! Please talk with your child about the importance of taking their time, showing their work, and doing their best. We have learned so much this year and this is their time to really put forth their best effort! If you have any additional questions about benchmark tests please do not hesitate to contact me.
In Science we will be learning about states of matter. The students need to know about different types of physical change. This is a great unit to practice at home incorporating Math and measurement. Make a salad and let your child measure the different vegetables as they are chopped to investigate physical change.
Parent teacher conferences are scheduled for Thursday, February 7 from 3:00 pm to 6:45 pm. Please sign up on the Sign up Genius link provided. If these times to not suit your schedule please contact me at jahufnell@henrico.k12.va.us to arrange a different time and date for us to meet.
