Thank you to all of our parent volunteers who came to Field Day and cheered on Duncan's Donuts and Ford's Fugitives. We had a blast!!
Congratulations to Warren Dooley and Parker Lewis from Mrs. Duncan's Homeroom and Blake Dardis and Austin Alpe from Mrs. Ford's Homeroom who won the Class Spelling Bee. We are so excited for these guys as they move onto the School Spelling Bee in December!!!
Reminder for the Week: on Wednesday, your child will be participating in the Veterans Day Program. The program begins at 8:30 in the cafeteria. The doors to the cafeteria will open at 8:00. You don't want to miss this awesome performance!
MATH: Last week in math, we finished our unit on subtraction. We will continue reviewing subtraction in our daily warm ups. This week we will be talking about Bar Models. Your child is familiar with Bar Models from second grade. We have also been discussing bar models in our daily warm ups. Below are some images of what bar models are and what they represent. We use bar models to decode word problems. Most of our third graders will be moving onto multiplication this week. Their first fast facts quiz for multiplication will be on Friday. Please study multiplying by 0's,1's, and 10's. If your child is not moving onto multiplication, please continue to study addition and subtraction facts. Once your child masters addition and subtraction, they will move onto multiplication. A problem of the week will go home on Monday and your child will have a worksheet sent home on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
