"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you
because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places." ~Roald Dahl

Happy October! It was wonderful to see so many of you at the Hawthorne Picnic. What a beautiful and fun evening!

Three questions to ask your third grader:
1) How are addition and subtraction related?
2) If someone is astonished, what might they look like?
3) Where do many rivers start?

*Reading every night is an important part of developing a life long reader. Please help your child reach the goal of 100 minutes per week by reading at least 20 minutes each night. It can be silent reading, reading to a sibling, or a family read aloud. Signed reading logs are due each Friday. If your child's reading log is not turned in or signed, they will read during recess on Friday. Thank you for your support in this effort!

Love,
Ms. Senecal
