So, come in and order your Valentine today!

Welcome to Miss Gray's Days!

Dear 3rd grade parents and students,

Welcome to our new monthly online newsletter. Come here for the latest updates on 3rd grade news and fun learning enrichment activities.

Go to http://www.primarygames.com/puzzles/puzzles.htm for math enrichment. I have also posted a link to http://www.wonderzone.com/ where our 3rd grade students can go to not only play fun games, but also learn about the Bible, missionaries, and even have Wonder Devotionals like we do in our Bible class. More links to come!

Please also remember to practice your times tables at least 5 times per week to reinforce long term retention of multiplication facts.

Another important thing to remember is to make sure and eat a good breakfast before school to fuel your brain and body for learning! Your body needs more than just lunch to learn and grow.

Also, make sure your spirit gets fueled with a breakfast of Bible reading and prayer for your day and attitude to be blessed and for you to be a blessing to others!

January Scholastic Book Orders will be due in the middle of the month, on January 15th this month.

I have been working with Miss Folta on helping the students be more responsible with Library Books. Starting Tuesday, January 19th, Library day, there will be a $5.00 Scholar Dollar fine for not returning the books previously checked out.

For Computer class on Wednesday, starting January 20th, the students will be required to bring Headphones.

FYI, we are doing Math Homework on Wednesdays so we can get really good with Long Division!

Remember to keep your Pizza Hut Book-it Calendar in view during the month, so you can turn it in at the end of the month with parent signature. You will receive a Book-it prize and a free pizza coupon. This program ends in March 2010.

Check weekly in case of new information.

Happy New Year 2010!
Miss Gray
