Welcome Back!

I hope everyone had an enjoyable, healthy and restful Thanksgiving Break and you’re ready for the next 3 weeks of learning at school!  It looks like snow might be in the forecast this week, so please make sure your child brings boots and snow pants to school if appropriate for the day’s weather.


Chromebook Devices

As of right now, it is expected that your student brings their laptop to and from school EVERY DAY so that we can use the laptops at school but also have them at home in case we need to go virtual.  Make sure that you charge your device at home every night.  Do not send chargers to school.  Please take the time to go over the digital handbook here with your child.


Multiplication and Division

In math we have started working on learning strategies to solve multiplication and division problems. If you haven’t already,  please watch this short video which helps explain the strategies we are using, as well as some games you can play at home:  3rd Grade Multiplication and Division.
