Third Grade
Newsletter
For the week of October 29-November 2
Please VOTE on Tuesday! No School!
Next week, beginning on Wednesday, Nov. 7th and running
through Friday, Nov. 9th, Highland will be
raising money for the children of Africa . As
the 2nd grade classes have learned about Africa ,
they learned that a child dies from hunger there every 15 seconds, and they
have been inspired to help! Please send your coins or dollars for donation with
your student, or feel free to bring it yourself. We will be collecting it in a
giant bank outside the music room. Thank you so much for your support and
generosity!

continue to memorize the multiplication facts. Some students are already on
their 3’s. You must study these at home!
Please look for a small amount of math homework each night. Also look for graded papers in the Friday
folder. My tests are cumulative so any old tests are a great source to use when
reviewing for a test. Our next test will be on November 8th.
