IXL Diagnostic/Lexia End of 2nd Trimester Progress

Please check out your child's IXL Diagnostic levels. They should start in the 300s. If the scores are lower, extra time is needed to fill the gaps in math before 4th grade. 

Here is an example of what you need to look at:


Also, Lexia scores for 3rd grade are 13-15. At this point, they should be close to or on level 15. If your child is below, extra time would be so helpful.  Thank you for checking in with your child in these areas.


Multiplication Facts

Don’t forget to have your child practice and review their multiplication facts weekly!  We did a 30 question quiz this week and some students found they had forgotten some of the facts they learned.  IXL F Skills, Flashcards, or online games are good ways to practice.  


March Reading Madness

We have started reading our book match-up’s for March is Reading Month. We are doing a basketball type theme, but our bracket is centered around books! We have 16 different books that we will be reading, and deciding which book we like the best. If you would like to check out the Reading Month Website, click here.
