We will also cover rules and classrooms proceedures during this time. Tuesday through Friday we will cover the story "Cliff Hanger". Be sure to ask your child about this adventureous tale.

Math- We will be reviewing addition, subtraction, and place value skills from second grade. We have hands on Math Centers Every Friday. Ask your student what they learned or enjoyed.
