First impressions
First, let me tell all of you I CAN'T type for beans so please forgive all my typo's!
Next, My first impressions of my class (and Mrs. O'steens class) is very good. I hope I don't jinx it but they may be the best behaved classes in years. My intention is to use this blog to let parents know what's going on in class and what tests will be upcoming. I did this last year and was a little disappointed with the results. I don't think too many parents really visited the site. Hopefully this year will be better. Remeber open house is thursday at 5:30. Hope to see you there.AG.
An Exciting Year
Are you ready?--Ready to learn more about Math, Science, and Social Studies than you've ever learned before! Math Investigations is taught and as you may know, M.I. does not have very much homework. Grades will be given through tests and Duval County exams. Science and Social Studies will be given report card grades for the first time (instead of S/N) and a study guide will be given approx. two day before the test. It is up to the student to copy the study guide and STUDY the study guide. You can help your child in Math by practicing skip counting with them--for example 3,6,9,12...etc.
last year they should have learned to skip count by 2's, 3's, 5's, and 10's to 1,000. Now practice the 4's, 6's, 7's, 8's, and 9's.Skip counting is essential in third grade.
