RED Reading - The students will work and read their way through Dear Mr. Henshaw. They will have at least two mini lessons to add to the CAFE Menu of skills and strategies! Additionally, they will work with letter writing.
BLUE Reading - The students will work and read their way through Boxcar Children. They will have at least two mini lessons to add to the CAFE Menu of skills and strategies!

Reading Buddies on Thursday!
Math: We will start a unit on area and perimeter this week. We will also continue to work on two-dimensional shapes.
If you have internet access your child can get on superteacher1.blogspot.com and play educational games such as compass, dreambox or mangahigh. If they play dreambox tell them no visiting the arcade until they have 10 tokens.

Thank you,
Your Third Grade Teachers
