December 2013
               HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Have a healthy, relaxing, and fun vacation with your family.

READING:  The students in room 214 have been working hard on reading comprehension.  Our classroom won the Championship Achieve 3000 Belt.  This is awarded to the classroom with the highest percentage on the activity questions for the week.  The students took turns wearing it when they got 100% on their daily article.  Please encourage your child to read every day over the break.  They can access the Achieve website too if they have internet access.  They might even win a prize if their name is selected after reading 4 or more articles and completing the activity questions with 75% accuracy.  Happy Reading!!

MATH:  The 3rd graders are focusing on multiplication strategies.  Please help your child learn & memorize their multiplication facts by practicing with flash cards daily.  There are many math games on the internet too that focus on learning the facts.

Writing:  Our focus has been on informative writing.  The students are almost finished fixing up a piece about something they are an expert on.  They will then be writing about the inquiry topic, Healthy Me, that they have been investigating and researching.  You will be able to see the results of their hard work at the end of January.

The Achieve Belt!

Room 214 earned the Achieve Belt award for
scoring 75% on reading articles and activity questions.
