As we round out our year in third grade, we will reflect upon the work we have done throughout the year. The children will think about the progress they have made and take a moment to enjoy the results of their consistent effort.

You will see work begin to come home to document their writing pieces from the year. There will also be activity ideas for the children to work on during the summer. My hope is that they will choose some great books to read and discuss, all while keeping their fluency, decoding, and comprehension skills strong.

Students should continue to practice memorizing their multiplication facts regularly. We need to know them easily in order to work through more challenging number stories.

The children have worked very hard all year long. We have some fun activities to enjoy during our last weeks of school. It has been a privilege to work with them, and I hope they all realize how much progress they've made. They should be proud of their efforts. I will certainly miss them!
