April Newsletter

Spring has arrived!!  Third grade is still going full force; learning, growing, and having fun! 

The Math Fact Sundae Challenge is motivating students to learn their multiplication facts!  Students will enjoy sundaes with toppings that coincided with the facts that they’ve mastered.    Thank you to all parents who donated to this activity.  If you haven’t donated yet, there’s still time!  We’ll have our sundae party on April 27th

AIMS Testing is fast approaching!  All year, third grade has been working on mastering the Arizona’s Instrument to Measure Standards.  The test is scheduled for the week of April 16th.  Please do not schedule any appointments for this very important week.  As with any other school day, please be sure your child comes to school well rested and prepared to perform.

Wish us well as we dominate and conquer the AIMS test!

Welcome Back!

I hope you all had a wonderful Spring Break!

It is hard to believe that March is almost over!  The AIMS test is quickly approaching! Over the next few weeks, we will be reviewing concepts that have been taught throughout the entire school year in order to prepare your child for the AIMS test. Therefore; it is extremely important that your child comes to school with a positive attitude and ready to learn! Your child should continue practicing his/her multiplication and division facts. Playing games with flashcards is an easy and fun way to help him/her memorize his/her facts…you can even do it in the car! In addition, students should be reading AR books nightly for 20 minutes!

Let's get started with Quarter 4!! 

Parent Teacher Conferences

Don't forget that Parent/Teacher Conferences are this week March  22nd-23rd. If you haven't confirmed your appointment time, please do so as soon as possible. I'll try my best to schedule at your convenience.
