Parent/Teacher Conferences – I am looking forward to meeting with you at conferences next week. We are meeting so that we can work as a team to see how we can best help your student succeed this year. We will go over the beginning of the year testing and discuss progress and goals. We have set aside Thursday afternoon or Friday to be able to meet with you. Please refer to the signup genius for your scheduled time. Here is the link for you again: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60B0B4DABAE2DA13-50968313-2024
Following Directions – In the papers that are coming home in the envelopes today, you may find some with a number of points counted off for not following directions. We spent a great deal of time emphasizing the directions and the importance of following them (and even gave them multiple reminders during their work time!). Please go over these papers with your child. Attending to directions is a very important skill that they will use throughout the years.
Redo assignments – assignments to be redone have a percentage less than 75% with a note that says “Please redo”. On a separate piece of paper, please have your student put their name, date, and assignment that is being redone. Both the original assignment and the redo need to be attached together and turned in by Monday of each week. Please contact me if there are any questions about the redo assignments. Redoing the assignments will help students to focus on problem areas and help them to prepare for testing.
Math – We are continuing to work on rounding, and next week we will be finishing up our chapter on the addition of numbers up to 3 digits with regrouping. We should be ready to test the following week.
Social Studies – 3rd grade is learning about “World Regions” this year. We are currently learning about the region of Africa.
Science – We are starting our chapter about force and motion in science. We will also be looking at simple machines as we prepare for our field trip to Science City! (We are waiting for confirmation for Friday, Nov. 1.)
PAHS Auction Donations – Our Annual Hope Lutheran PAHS auction is on November 4th. Money raised in our auction goes toward Art, Music, Spanish, and technology. If you are able to donate something to the auction this year bring it by and drop it off in the school office. Please note items must be new. Help us make this year’s auction a huge success!

Memory for September 20:
