3rd Grade Notes
Be His Hands!
It was so nice seeing all of you at Open House on Thursday. I was glad to have had the chance to talk to so many of you. For those of you that I missed, I hope to get to talk with you soon.
We will be having all Specials this week. The students are excited to go to Computer and Library and to also meet our new Spanish teacher.
Thank you to Mrs. Saksa and all of the parents that gave a donation so that we could have a celebration for Mr. Heinrichs’ birthday! He loved his Ohio State sweatshirt and mug and the gift card to Dick’s Sporting Goods. We all had fun celebrating with Ohio State colored cupcakesJ
Happy Birthday:

Important Skills
Math- If there are students that still struggle with addition and subtraction facts, please make sure that you are practicing flashcards each night with them. All students need to have these facts memorized so that they are prepared and ready for multiplication and division.
A great skill to practice at home is counting by multiples. 2’s, 3’s, 4’s, 5’s, 6’s… Practicing this skill daily will help each student learn their multiplication facts much more quickly.
Writing- Please remind your children that when they are doing any kind of writing at home, to remember correct sentence structure. Capital letters where needed and correct punctuation at the end of each sentence. I look for sentence structure in all writing that is turned in and this becomes an important part of the English grade.
NO SCHOOL!- Friday, September 23. Teacher Inservice Day.
