Greetings third grade families! |
Praise the Lord our technology is slowly transforming and getting up and running. I will leave a few notes here today, but will update this more extensively over the weekend to include much more information.
It was wonderful to see all the children again this week. I miss them so much over the summer. And, I am excited to see a few new faces as well. It is going to be a fun year of learning new things together.
There will be no homework until next week. The homework schedule will be as follows (except for any special projects):
Monday: Spelling and Math
Tuesday: Math
Wednesday: no homework
Thursday: Math
Friday: no homework
If you haven't already, please send in $3.00 to cover the cost of the extra long pencil box I purchased for your child to use in class this year. We now have the special boxes in both classrooms, and the children are able to keep all their belongings inside the box. The desks look spectacular.
The children came home today with information on the Boosterthon Fun Run in which they will be participating next Friday. Please help them choose several potential "sponsors" with whom they can possibly get support for their run. The children will have the opportunity to earn several really nice prizes for their efforts, and the school will benefit from the fund raiser.
This weekend I will update this site to include our weekly skills, Bible memory verses and catechisms and more about our daily schedule. Please encourage your child to eat a healthy breakfast in the morning and get to bed early at night. Thank you for all your prayers and support of our classroom learning. |

Helpful online study links (all optional if you would like more resources): |
Bible - http://children.calvarychapel.com/site/curriculum.htm
Click on one of the links that covers the Bible topic we are covering in class.
Math - http://nlvm.usu.edu/
I love the way this site is laid out! You can make sure a math game is on grade level and choose any one of the five sections of mathematics: numbers and operations, algebra, geometry, measurement, or data analysis and probability.
History/Science -
http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/
This is a fantastic website to find fun science experiments, videos, and kits that will enable your child to enjoy the life learning principles of science at home and with family.
http://discoveryeducation.com
(Your child's log in information is their entire name, lower case, no spaces, and their Redeemer student number they use for computer class. This website includes all the video links we watch in class. It is a great way to catch up if your child misses a day or review before a test.) You can also use this website to search any given criteria of interest, and everything is highly reviewed and educational material, unlike a lot of other sites. |
Thank you for your prayers and support of our learning. Kindest regards always, Mrs. Rudacille |
