Hello 3rd grade families! Thank you so much to those of you who have indicated that you can volunteer your time or pumpkins for our Fall Fun Day, and to those of you who have donated $2 towards the cost of all the craft supplies! If you haven't had a chance to donate yet, I do need to reimburse Mrs. Topleski as soon as possible. Lastly, we reviewed telling time on an analog clock and elapsed time last week, but some kiddos still need extra practice especially with elapsed time. Please help reinforce this skill at home by asking how many minutes have passed between 2 times. For example, if your family starts eating dinner at 5:13 p.m. and finishes at 5:37 p.m. ask them to figure out how many minutes did [we] spend eating altogether? Have a fantastic week!
