Virtual Assignments for Thursday

Third grade families:

I will not be conducting a zoom call today, but I wanted to go ahead and post a few things here for the students to do so that we don't get too far behind. Of course, if they are still sick, this can wait. 

1) Practice the Bible memory verse. It has been in their folders since last week.

2) Write spelling words.

3) Write out the 7 and 8 times tables

4) Finish reading Secret in the Maple Tree, chapter 4.

Thank you so much for the prayers! This flu sure packs a punch.
