• Began map skills with what is a map, pretest on directions, direction activity, map assignment, and took notes in our spiral
• Cursive handwriting
• Read aloud is Franny K. Stein Mad Scientist:  Lunch Walks Among Us

Welcome to 3/4

We are glad to begin the new year with all of our "old" students and "new" students.  There are just a few things to mention as we begin this year.

• Testing this week and next for needs based groups-get plenty of rest.
• Remind your child to try their best on all tests.
• Bring a healthy snack for the morning.
• Dress for the weather, recess everyday providing its not raining or snowing.
• Please email questions or concerns to your child's teacher.

It is great to begin a new school year with old and new students.  I want to welcome everyone back to a great new school year with a variety of changes.  We will be testing students on the ERB this week.  Please encourage your child to do their best.  We will also be testing for our needs based literacy and math groups.

Again welcome to a new year!
