We are beginning our study of plants. The students will learn the parts of a plant along with their function. They will be able to describe the life cycle of a plant and environmental factors that effect a plant's ability to grow. We will be doing this through observations and experiments in addition to watching some informative videos on the subject.

Multiplication FACTS
In third grade it is important for the children to learn their multiplication facts 0-12. We use timed tests to determine whether the children can recall facts accurately and quickly. By memorizing the multiplication facts, students will find it easier to learn new math concepts and processes that build on or use multiplication. Please help your child by investing in a set of flash cards and practicing nightly. As an incentive, students will be working towards an ice cream sundae party at the end of the year. They get a different part of the sundae for each step they master.
Check out the Math Games link for rules on games that will reinforce basic math concepts.
