Dear parents,
On Thursday, we will be doing a fun winter activity with our buddy class. If you have time Wednesday after school, I would love some help with prep. The more people, the quicker it will be. At the most it will be 45 minutes, and doesn't involve any special skills! If you're worried about what to do with your child, they can hang out in the classroom. If you're free to help, please come to the portable at 3:00 pm. I will get you started while I do supervision until 3:20pm. Merci!

A thought on writing
Monday and Tuesday, we worked on our 3-step write. I do this as a way for the kids to show me all they have learned about writing this term. This term, they wrote instuctions on how to build a snow man, and ALL the steps involved (when we first practiced, they sent me outside in a tshirt!!). Often, we think of writing as just writing stories, but it is important to practice all kinds of writing, such as non-fiction writing, instructional writing, and oppinion writing!

Math Games
The students have been working very hard on math these past few weeks! We have been doing lots of math games in class with cards and dice. You can play games like 'war' but with addition. This can be played with one or two, or even three or 4 cards! We played a similar one with dice, starting with one dice each, and ending with three or four dice each!
We have now moved on to addition with regrouping, but it is still important to practice these basic math skills. Any of these games can be played at home with just a deck of cards or dice. Also, here is the link to a website that has many great math games! http://www.mathblaster.com/parents/math-games/3rd-grade-math-games
