Welcome Back
Can you believe we are halfway through the school year? I look forward to seeing the students continue to improve academically and socially. I took some time on Wednesday to review classroom expectations and procedures. As a class we discussed the social contract, and how students should behave when at school.

Reading/Language Arts
Wednesday was used to write goals for 2024. On Thursday, the class started the next story in our reading series and had a spelling pretest. The post test for Lesson 14 will be on Friday, January 12th. 
Science
The third grade class continues to learn about animal adaptations.
Math
The class will continue to work on perimeter and area.  Students will be using the Distributive Property of Multiplication to find the area. Students will also be finding the perimeter and area of irregular shapes.

FAST Testing
The winter screening for FAST testing will start next week.  The students will take the computerized tests first. The CBMreading test will be given during the afternoons of January 16th and 18th.

Reading Incentive Program
Please return December reading calendars to school by Friday, January 5th. The reading goal will increase to 500 minutes during the months of January, February, and March.

Class Fridge
Students can still bring in a picture to put on our class fridge.
