- Family Lunch Fridays - Our campus is open each Friday for lunch visitors! When you arrive you will sign in at the front office and receive a visitor badge that must be worn at all times. You will need a photo ID (license or passport). You will be able to eat lunch with your child at the designated tables for lunch visitors. You may only eat with your child. No other learners may be invited to eat with you. You may purchase lunch in the cafeteria or bring a lunch with you. Parents will be dismissed from the cafeteria. You will need to go back through the front office to sign out at the end of lunchtime. Please see Ms. Martin's Principal Newsletter for details on who may eat with your child and a form to fill out for non-parent lunch visitors. No lunch visitors on early release days.

Math
Direct quote from a child during our fraction introductory week: “Fractions are easy!” YES! That’s what we like to hear! 😊Fractions ARE easy.
We will be working on fractions on a number line, and here’s the saying they will all remember: Count the spaces, not the lines. We will also work on partitioning amounts into equal shares, fraction word problems, and decomposing fractions into unit fractions. Now, don’t panic, friends. That all sounds complicated, but you’ve (your child) got this!
Science
Next week we will deep dive into our planets. They will spend the week researching each planet and finding all the fun facts!
Reading/Writing
During Reading this week we will continue to dive into the mystery novel each class selected. We will focus on the skills required to make inferences, evaluate details to determine key ideas, and actively listen to clarify information and make pertinent comments.
Our 3rd grade writers will continue writing poetry of a wide variety. We will be showcasing these during open house!
Social Studies
Next week we will finish up our economics unit and move into our study of individuals who have shaped our community. We will focus on key people in history that have made contributions through inventions and their upstander behavior.
