Hope everyone saw their child's mid-term report.  Again, thank you for all your help.  Please sign and return the report.  Thanks.

Tomorrow and Wednesday your children will be taking the Learning First Test.  The reading test is tomorrow and the math test will be Wednesday morning.  These tests, again, give us some idea of how your child is doing in third grade-again, it is one test.  The tests also help with test taking and preparing for the ISAT's.  Each test is about 55 minutes.  They should relax and do their best.  The tests will be given again in the winter and in the spring.

Thanks for the field trip money coming in.  I need all the money and forms signed and returned by this Friday.  Thanks.

Language Arts:  We will be giving the Learning First Tests for 2 days.  Our focus this week is writing.  Looking through their journal, your child is re-writing a page of their choice by beginning each sentence with a different word.  This was challenging.  Ask your child about it.  We will work on this throughout the week.

Homework:  Your child will have reading homework-they should read at least 30 minutes each night.
