Summer 2024-2025

  

Happy Summer!! As we part for our break,  I think there are a few skills that would be beneficial for all of the outgoing 3rd graders to periodically practice over the summer to avoid losing some of the new skills they gained this year. 

Multiplication Facts 2-12s: 

Some are still trying to skip count when they multiply and they need a bit more practice with straight memorization. I suggest flashcards or using this website:

Some could still use some extra practice with addition skills. I have a few that still want to count on their fingers to add.  We'd like to get that skill up so that it is more of a memorized skills. I suggest flashcards or using this website:

All 50 states.

We used this website to help us study:

I cannot emphasize this one enough: READ

Ask them to read to you 10 minutes a day, a few days a week. This is one of the most important skills they can work on.

Lastly, they have access to IXL all summer.  They can go under "Assessments" then scroll down to see recommended skills for Math and Language.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Thank you all for entrusting me to teach these children this year.  I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful summer!

Week of May 5th

 

Week of May 5th

Our only and final day of testing this upcoming week is Tuesday, May 6th. 

We will finish out with a Mathematics Problem Solving and Reading Vocabulary test.

Other than our testing day on Tuesday, we will have a "normal" week as far as academics goes. 

I have cut out the vocabulary for this week, and we will NOT have a memory verse as well.

I am feeling the end of the year bittersweetness.  I cannot believe we only have 3 more weeks together as a class.  I am hoping to have a little end of the year party, and I'll keep you posted on the date for that. 

I'm also trying to putting together a little trip to Carnifex Ferry and will send home information after I get the details in place.
