***SNOWSHOEING at SARETT HAS BEEN POSTPONED!***

We will be snowshoeing at Sarett on Wednesday, February 1st due to lack of snow this week. Hopefully we will have a bit more next week!


Pizza Multiplication

We started working on our Pizza Multiplication this week. Students are working hard to earn a pizza party. For each multiplication level they pass, students will add another piece to make a whole pizza.  Please check with your child to see which level they are working on this week. Our pizza party will on February 14th, the same day as our Kindness Party.  Please have your child continue working on their facts at home.  Learning their multiplication facts will be key to their success in math. 

Mid-Year NWEA Testing

Our students will be taking the mid-year NWEA  math test on Tuesday and Wednesday from 10:45-11:45 this week. There is no need to prepare at home other than to discuss the importance of good test taking skills: taking your time, doing your best, staying focused, eating a good breakfast, drinking water, etc.  Thank you for your encouragement at home!


Snowshoeing at Sarett

The third grade will be going to Sarett Nature Center NEXT Wednesday, February 1st, in the morning to experience some snowshoeing!  This was a gift left to us from the tribes that were in Michigan long ago.  Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather:  boots, snowpants, hat, gloves/mittens, and a warm coat. Parents are welcome to join us, but you must drive separately and meet us there at 10:00 am. Let us know if you have questions! 


Weekly Specials Schedule

Our specials are on a Monday-Friday schedule and the same time each day. 3rd grade specials begin right at 9:25 every day. Wednesdays will be used as make-up days for missed specials, extra computer lessons, music practice days, etc.
