Dear Third Grade Parents,
It's baaaaaaack! Catholic Schools Week has arrived and from what I hear, SMA celebrates the week in style. I am excited to be a part of this event and to experience it first hand. Thank you to all of you who have been busy behind the scenes to ensure this week is a great success. You rock!!!!
In case you have not yet heard, I am asking each student to bring in their own 3-ring binder that is 1 1/2 inches wide. The students will also need at least 5 subject dividers. This is to begin the process of organizing our subject study guides and notes so that when tests or quizzes are assigned, there is only one place to look to find just what is needed. Thank you for helping to make this happen!
I am posting this week's Curriculum Update with the disclaimer that some material may be pushed back depending upon our week's special events. Thank you in advance for your patience!
