3C’s Monday Memo
March 28, 2016
Math: We will complete working on telling
time and elapsed time on Monday and
Tuesday. Some students are really finding
elapsed time challenging. Please help them
practice at home. On Wednesday, we will
begin working with standard measurement to
the nearest inch and ½ inch.
students will begin giving their speech in the
classroom for a grade. Costumes are optional
for the classroom speech. I hope all students
come back with their speeches memorized
since notecards were sent home over break.
