Newsletter Update
I have added most (if not all) my Friday Email Updates to the page on here that says "Newsletter."
New Homework Menu
I know...it's been forever since I've been here...I'm sorry! With the holidays and still getting use to my first year of teaching 3rd grade, I have fallen short. But I will continue to try!
I have created another Homework Menu and have posted it at the bottom of this post (there are now two menus). I know some of you have the Everyday Mathematics HomeLink which includes math
worksheets that go along with our lessons and those are great to do. If for
some reason you never got one and want one, please email me and I will send one
home with your child.
Under
the first menu is the link to the Alexandria webpage where all of our online
resources reside. Spelling City, Freedom Flix, Typing Pal, Math Games, etc. are
all on there. Your child should know exactly where things are as we do several
in class.
If you
use the menu or not, please encourage your kids to be reading every night and
to always practice their multiplication and division tables whenever possible.
These are the two key things that will really help them.
