Announcements:
Conferences are coming up next week (February 13 and 14)! Look for a sign up slip in your child's folder and make sure it comes back to school so I can give you a time that works best for you!
All students in 3rd grade will be moving to multiplication Monday for math facts so that they can work toward mastering the facts we will be working with the rest of the year in multiplication and division. Thank you for everything you do at home to help your children practice, it is so helpful for them to practice at home too!
Friday (February 7) is the sled dog race! Please make sure your child is dressed for cold weather and has returned their permission slip!
Reading: This week in reading we will be reading 'Rocks in His Head' and focusing on asking questions and generalizing to better understand what we are reading.

All of our spelling words this week are words with prefixes: pre-, mid-, over-, and out-. We will be learning about what those prefixes mean as well, and how they change the meaning of the root word so you could discuss that at home too!
Math: We have just started fractions, and will continue to learn more about naming, comparing, and estimating with fractions. We will also continue with our multiplication unit this week, and finish it up early next week.
