NOTE TO PARENTS: The past few weeks we have reviewed 2nd grade skills to refresh their memory from over summer break. We really dove into 3rd grade skills this past week. They completed their first 3rd grade passage online and it was a doozy. The rigor has been upped to prepare your kiddos for 3rd grade and beyond.  A little reminder that 3rd grade is a big transition for your kiddo(s). They are given more responsibility and are expected to work independently. There will be some growing pains for them in the upcoming weeks, but that is to be expected. I promise that they are all doing the absolute best they can especially with the big jump from 2nd to 3rd grade. Ms. Wells and I are SO PROUD of each and every one!!
