Dear Parents,
I wanted to extend a heartfelt thank you for the Target gift card you all gave me as a Christmas gift. I was able to purchase some DVD's of movies that I had been wanting to watch. It came in handy as I spent the second week of 2012 recovering from surgery. I have had a long-standing medical issue with my left kidney which has finally been resolved. I look forward to returning to the classroom tomorrow. Also, many wonderful individual gifts were given to me and hopefully you saw my thank you note in your child's folders. If not, I appreciate the many gift cards, baked goodies, etc.
Mrs. Verma and Mrs. Broaddus along with my substitute teacher, Mrs. Druhot have hit the ground running. The students completed our polygon unit in math. They have been working on HERO essays in writing. Science class has been focusing on HEAT. The students have been getting back in the swing of things quickly.
This coming week:
We will begin a unit on fractions in math.Committing multiplication facts through 12x tables will continue to be a priority. Informational writing will be our focus during this grading period. "New Year's Resolutions will be the topic of our first writing assignment. In grammar, we will focus on apostrophes this week. Reading groups will be working on obtaining facts, summarizing and answering comprehension questions on books about MLK, JR. We will continue learning about heat in science and end the week with an engaging High Touch High Tech in school field trip.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns as we move forward in the 2nd half of 3rd grade.
Hoping everyone had a wonderful holiday enjoying family time and a bit of rest!
Thanks for your continued support,
Audra James
