Welcome Back Fun in 3-4!

Math

Third grade mathematicians know how to be "good" mathematicians!

Mr Menz introduced Number of the Day in Third Grade Math

Fourth graders are also doing Number of the day.

Ask your child what they notice so far on our Number of the Day Chart

Reading

This week we read Patches Lost and Found.  

We reviewed that reading is more than just reading the words. Reading is Thinking!

Ask your child about the thinking we did when we read Patches Lost and Found
