We have started our social studies unit on Maps and Globes.   On Thursday, there will be a vocabulary list sent home to study for a quiz next Friday.  Many of the words should be review from second grade.   You will also see I have put some interactive websites under the social studies for your child to explore.


To help all third grade students be secure on knowing all multiplication facts,  I have created a class on Xtramath.  Xrtramath is a interactive website that helps children learn their math facts.  It gives feedback to your child on the facts they have mastered and which ones they need to work on.  I can also go into my class and see how each student is progressing.  There is a flyer coming  home  that tells you how to enroll your child.  Please support your child's learning and enroll them as soon as possible.   I appreciate you support!
