Applegates Announcements

April 1, 2015

Hello!

Oh my gosh its April!

We continue to work hard in all areas.
3rd and 4th quarters are the most crucial time
of the year when the students tend to show
the most growth. We have a lot of work
ahead of us.
We have the Portable Planetarium
coming for our in school field trip on Friday,
April 10. Please be sure to sign and return the
neon green permission slip ASAP.
Please let me know of any questions or
concerns that you may have as we progress
throughout this year together.

Take Care,
Ms. Applegate

help is greatly appreciated!

Reminders

Multiplication tables should be reviewed each

night. This is something that is to be practiced
ALL YEAR. I recommend choosing one table
(0-12) to practice to mastery. Just 5 minutes
of practice a day can really make all the difference
Reading and discussing what has been read is
VITAL in keeping on track in 3rd grade. This
should be done everyday at home.
