First Week

 Busy little workers!

Some more busy little workers!

The third graders worked hard in the first three days back to school.

This week in Fundations we reviewed our short vowels sounds, blends, digraphs, and blending our sounds.  The students did a great job.

Our class is learning how to use the library and how to pick out a "just right" book.  A book is "just right" if you know most of the words and you can understand what you are reading.

In math we began Chapter 1 in which students will learn to count, read, and write numbers to
10,000.  You may read more about this in the math newsletter that will be sent home next week.

On Monday I will send home a book order that can be sent back to school by next Friday!

Homework will start on Monday.  The students will be sent home with a contract of their homework that is due that week.  Homework should not take more than 30 minutes a day which includes 15 minutes of reading.

If you have any question you may call me or email me at jburke@topsfieldps.org
