Writing: In writing, we will complete our middle of the year writing
assessments. Then, we will continue with poetry writing.

Homework

Math- Since we are now into the second semester of 3rd grade, we are going to be starting weekly math homework. They will be given the assignment every Friday, and it will be due the following Friday. This week our learners are bringing home 5 questions that will need to be turned in by next Friday, January 27th. We talked with the learners about planning ahead and finding a time when they can focus on getting this math homework done. Thank you for understanding and partnering with us!
Reading: We will begin our new Of The Week  (OTW) homework. This week, learners have a Poem Of The Week. Learners will have one activity each night, then a short comprehension quiz on Friday.
Spelling: We have restarted Spelling! However, there is no more Spelling Choice Board homework. Students are responsible for learning their words and will take the post test Friday, January 27, but the choice board is not part of the homework.
Cafeteria expectations: It is a school-wide expectation that when the lights are off, our voices are off. Please help us with following these when you are eating with your child in the cafeteria.


Background Check: Please take a minute to fill out a background check. It only takes a few minutes and the link is below. You will need to have completed a background check to volunteer at school and attend special events and field trips. You must complete a new background check each school year. http://www.coppellisd.com/Page/22
