Just a Few Reminders!
- Picture Day is Wednesday. This is a different company and payment must accompany your child on Wednesday. I sent home an envelope for this.
- See You at the Pole is this Wednesday morning at 7:30 on the playground.
- We are beginning subtraction today. Traditionally, this is the hardest area we cover in third grade. My students will be multiplying and dividing and still stumbling over subtraction. I teach them to say: If the Bottom is Bigger, Borrow! This seems to help. I appreciate any reinforcement you can give at home!
- I was out on Friday, so test folders will go home this Friday.
- God bless you with a wonderful week.

Third Grade Art! :)
We are so thilled to have third grade art this year. Mrs. Hom is doing a great job with my class. These students finished their glasses and remembered to put their names on them, so Mrs. Hom could return them. They enjoyed wearing their glasses during DEAR (Drop Everything and Read!).

Just a Few Changes...
I just wanted to let you know that Mrs. Gossage and I had a meeting with Mrs. Burroughs concerning third grade and how it is going, and we made a few changes that I think will be for the best.
Mrs. Gossage will now be teaching English and creative writing, as well as cursive. I will take over the reading and spelling, as well as math.
This semester we will have history and geography, and the second semester we will have science all semester. I think this will be easier with a larger class, and our history book is only made to cover one semester.
I hope all is well with you. I appreciate so much all the wonderful stickers you have been sending in, as well as other items that help our class run smoothly.
God bless you with a good week!
