Weekly Update 10/10/13

The week got away from me, and I am SUPER late on my update. Can we  just pretend I'm really early for next week?

 One of the important items this week is Midterm Reports. They went home on Wednesday. Please take the time to review this with your child, sign, and return. I will make a copy and send the original back. Third graders earn letter grades. 
A = 89.5 and above, B = 79.5 and above, C = 69.5 and above, and D = 59.5 and above.

Based on the response from a short writing prompt last week, we are going to write animal rescue stories.
