PARENTS AND STUDENTS:

We celebrated the Ice Cream Sundae Multiplication
Math Facts Party in December. We are very proud of
how hard many students have been working to master
the multiplication facts!!! We want to let you know that
WE WILL CONTINUE WITH MAH AND
MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION FACTS! This is
an EXTREMELY important skill for students to master
in third grade because it is the foundation for fourth
and fifth grade.

Character Education for January

Honesty Telling the truth and being sincere.
Lying, cheating, and stealing are always wrong. Be
honest even if it is hard to do so. Teachers will be
looking for students who display honesty even
when it might mean getting themselves into
trouble.
