Tuesday

Homework:
Begin working our your biographical timeline. (Remember to pace yourself and work on it bit-by-bit.)
"Singular and Plural Nouns" worksheet
Read 20 minutes.

Clearing up some confusion: Last night I asked for students to alphabetize their spelling words. This means ALL spelling words must be written out in alphabetical order. You can use a new piece of paper or just write on the back on the spelling words list. Thanks!

I am sending home a paper with 8 ideas for reading with your child. Please review it and see how you can fit more reading into each day. :)

I am also sending home a reminder that our class will be collecting boxtops again this year. Please bring them in whenever you like and add them to our class box. Remember- the class with the most boxtops earns a party!! Woo-hoo!

Reminder: Every Wednesday, in recognition of religious services and the need for a mid-week break, there will only be 20 minutes of reading for homework. I plan to create a reading log for you child to record their daily reading.

Math Worksheet- Money Worksheet

I greatly value your input in my homework assignments. Please let me know if you child is stuggling or is not challeged enough by my homework load. Thanks :)
Great day today! I love my students!

Homework: Cents worksheet and Transition Words Writing Prompt. Please assist your child in completing their writing assignment. Remember that neatness and spelling are important. However, the biggest priority should be writing that is understandable to the reader.

Biopoems

                             These are our biopoems. These poems have a very specific format which students follow to share information about themselves. These poems help me to better understand who they are and what they enjoy. I am very proud of their excellent work!

First Day of School

Hello parents and students! We just finished up our first day of school and I am equally thrilled and exhausted. :) It was a pleasure working with your children today and I look forward to many exciting days to come.
Today we discussed our primary goal/classroom rule: acting with integrity. Ask you child about this and see if they can identify exactly what this means.
Homework: Read 20 minutes. Complete and check Addition Math Frenzy worksheet.
See you tomorrow!

Check out this wonderful map with the South Pole placed at the top

I am very interested in asking my students to reconsider their perspectives on what they believe they know. This map helps students recognize the circular shape of our earth and that map orientation is not absolute.

Meet the Teacher Night

It was such a pleasure meeting so many of you tonight! It looks like I will have an amazing group of students this year. I am so thrilled to know that I have such bright, interesting partners in learning to share the school year with! Thank-you to both my parents and students for taking the time to meet me. I so look forward to building our relationship in the future.

Our Fantastic 3rd Grade Classroom!

Class Roster :)

I just received my class roster today and I am so excited to meet all of my new students! I will be mailing out welcome postcards to each student so check your mail box over the next few days. I look forward to meeting you all at Meet-The-Teacher Night on Thursday, August 19th at 7:00 pm. Please bring your supplies to drop off with me and I will have a packet containing pertinent information for you and your student.

Back to School!!

My favorite time of the year is here again! In the spirit of life long learning, I will be attempting this blog to keep my students and parents as up to date as possible on the events in our third grade classroom. This will be my first attempt, so please be patient with me. :) I would love any input you may have on this blog, as well as suggestions for added content. I look forward to a fun and simulating new year!
