Happy Columbus Day!

Dear Third Grade Parents,

I hope all of you had a fun and relaxing holiday weekend.  Thankfully the weather was perfect in typical San Diego fashion.

This is a big week for the students of Stella Maris Academy.  Please be sure your students are at school each day and on time during the next week and a half as we will begin the IOWA Tests first thing in the morning.  As for this week's Curriculum Update, well…  stay tuned until next week.

This week in third grade should be relatively quiet in terms of new material to be presented.  Due to the IOWA Tests, I am hoping to keep things light and simple.  You will see the occasional math sheet come home to keep those multiplication facts at the forefront, but for the most part, please do not expect to see much homework this week.  The IOWA Tests can take a lot out of the students and rather than overwhelm them, I want to use this week to review or do some fun fall themed activities.  As for tests or quizzes, I am only going to give a spelling test on Friday.

Thank you for checking in every week to keep on top of all things third grade.  I really appreciate your interest and support.

Lastly, if anyone is able to spare the time, the third grade class is still in need of a parent to teach the Junior Achievement Lessons.  If you are able to help, please let me know.

I hope all of you have a wonderful week.  Thank you for all you do to make Stella Maris Academy an amazing place to learn.  Take care and God bless!

Sincerely,
Ms. Eileen Griffin
Your Third Grade Teacher
