Study guide

A science study guide was given today--the test will be on Wednesday. We have finished a unit in math--flips turns and area -we will be reviewing. A test will be given wednesday or thursday. A parent inquired about free math tutoring. We've had that in the past but it usually starts in December. However, with the budget the way it is, I wouldn't count on it. You could look at faith based institutions for free tutoring and if you find one please let me know. Thanks. AG.

Thank you for the suggestion on a place to look for free tutoring. I will follow up on it and if I find something I will be sure to share the information.

I found that if you follow this link it will take you to the library website. Then under the services section on the right side you will see live homework help. you can then correspond with a live tutor for free. it is not much if you don't have specific problems but at least it is a start. It is for several subjects including math and science. Hope this helps others.

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.
