Families,

Happy New Year!!! I am anxious to see what 2019 brings us!!! I hope everyone had time to relax, spend time with family, and friends!!

Third grade students (Malwitz's class) will be taking the NWEA test Jan. 11th (math) and Jan. 15th (reading). This is to check their Reading and Math progress. I will share results at conferences.

We will continue with Topic 9 in Math~Patterns.  No spelling this week or Comprehension Reading sheet. Slowly getting back into the flow again. I will be reviewing classroom and school expectations this week as well. I am hoping we did not forget what they are.

Welcome back!!!

Families,

I would like to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!  2018 was a great year and I hope 2019 is as well!!! Please stay healthy and safe over the winter break!!

Conferences are coming up at the end of Jan. Please return your conference request as soon as possible so I can get you in the time slot you prefer. Sending home soon...

We are skipping over the majority of Topic 8 (division) and will begin Topic 9~Patterns.  Reading Skills will go over Main Idea, Details, and Sequencing. Spelling will focus on Syllable juncture in VCCCV and VV patterns.

Again, have a great break!!!

Families,
 Ok, the weather is starting to get chilly!! Please make sure your child has warm clothes to wear outside. We go out for recess everyday unless there is a below 0 temp./windchill!! 

     I am going to try a new form of communication with my classroom families. It is called Seesaw. I have the class set up and ready to go. Watch for information to come home as to how you will sign up. This is a free phone app and you can access through your computer as well. I can send homework, reminders, celebrations, etc. to you via phone and/or computer!! I hope you will use this new platform as a way to stay current with school happenings. Plus it is safe and private for only my class to see!!!!

     This week in Math we will continue with Topic 7 ~ Division. The students are catching on to this strategy pretty well! Is it perfect yet? Not quite, but I am impressed with how quickly they are catching on!! Spelling is Syllable Juncture in VCV and VCCV Patterns. Social St. is covering Jamestown and Native Americans. Science is beginning a STEM project.

     I would still recommend sending in an extra set of clothes to keep in their locker, maybe after break? We will do another locker clean out sometime before winter break. Look for a smaller pile of things to come home :)

Have a great week!!
