Third Grade News

Dear Third Grade Families,

Thank you for choosing to send your child to a Catholic school. We had a nice Catholic Schools week celebrating faith, academics and service. Thank you also for a fabulous NaNoWriMo celebration.

The class is working on being more responsible for bringing home materials they need and writing down their homework completely. You can double-check their homework book to the class site. We have also been discussing the importance of listening and following directions carefully. Third quarter means that my expectations and yours have risen.

We took our math facts quizzes this week and will be retaking the same quizzes for improvement mid quarter and at the end of the quarter. It is expected that we walk out the door to 4th grade knowing multiplication facts 0-10. I encourage you to continue helping your child learn their facts while also making the process fun. Play multiplication games, use online sites, quiz each other, or make up songs for the facts. I will continue to do the same in the classroom.

Thank you,
Ms. Katrina Lyssand M.A. Ed.
