Dear Families,

I hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend!  The weather made it seem like summer!  I know summer is on our minds, but we have four weeks left of learning in Room 215!

NOTE ABOUT HOMEWORK:  This week's homework packet is not due until Friday, June 8, 2012.  Students are expected to read every night in English for 15 minutes, but there is no log.  The math that is in the homework is a review of the fractions- the topic we are currently learning about.  There is no spelling list this week because we finished our spelling book!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following questions are still important to us as we learn this week...

1.  How do mathematicians use what they know to understand what they don't know?

2.  What is a mixed number and how can mathematicians identify fractions and mixed numbers on the number line?

3.  What does effort look like? 


 
We are in the middle of doing end of year assessments to see how much we've learned and grown in third grade! 

I am including a link to some wonderful fraction activities to support your child's classroom learning.
