Homework:
Each student has a spelling assignment based on the words they will be testing on on Friday. My "Monday group" will be creating a crossword puzzle of their words. The rest of my students will be writing their spelling words in sentences using the assigned worksheet.
Read 20 minutes of AR.
Have a great night!

Thursday 1-27
Homework:
(1) Write one, original paragraph using at least 8 spelling words. This paragraph must make sense, but can be written as a fantasy. For instance: "knot write phony climb," is not an appropriate sentence. However, "The lamb scrapped her knee, " would be fine.
(2) Finish reading the AR books you checked out on Wednesday. Remember, AR closes in two weeks.
Note: Please make sure you return your signed progress report to me. I need to know that parents are up-to-date on their child's progress. Parents: if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call me or schedule a conference. My conference time is Monday through Friday, 10:25-11:15. Please let me know ahead of time, so that I can be prepared for our meeting.
Have a great night!

Clay Model of our Solar System
Today in science, our third graders created clay models of our solar system. They had such a great time they hardly noticed they were learning about the size and order of our planets. :)

Good afternoon parents and students!
We have been working very hard on measurement for the last few weeks and tomorrow is our opportunity to show how much we have learned. Tonight I am sending home a 1 page review sheet, however, I suggest that your student briefly review their previous math assignments as well. Our test tomorrow will cover length, weight/mass, temperature, capacity, volume, perimeter, area and time. Whoa! Don't let that overwhelm you. We have covered this information extensively- just slow down and think and I know you will succeed!

Wednesday/Thursday's Homework
Due to the fact that we have our homecoming on Thursday night, I have decided to give homework tonight that will not be due until Friday morning. This way you and your student can finish the homework at a pace that works well for you and your family's schedule.
Homework:
Procedural reading packet. (NOTE: You do not have to actually make the kite. This is for reading comprehension purposes only.)
Write Friday's spelling words three times each.
Read AR library books.
Try not to be overwhelmed by the amount of this work. It is really not all that much and can be completed at your child's individual pace.
Good luck and don't forget that tomorrow is Spirit Day! Wear your favorite Tioga gear or green or white.

Tuesday's Homework

First paragraph (3-5) sentences: what I have learned.
Second paragraph (3-5) sentences: what I want to know more about.
Don't forget to write in cursive please.

Field Trip to the NCTC Planetarium
Second and third grade had an exciting trip to the planetarium today. We learned a lot and even had an opportunity to enjoy a quick trip to the lovely Gainesville playground.Monday, January 17, 2011
Monday 1-17-11- Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day!
Hello all!
Today we discussed Dr. King and his autobiography. Students also watched the famous "I have a dream" speech and shared their thoughts and ideas about this critical part of our nation's history.
Tonight's homework is a Martin Luther King, Jr. multiplication worksheet/word jumble. We all learned that Dr. King was an excellent student who excelled in school and we are all working to emulate that determination to progress in our education!

Wed. 1-12-11
Homework: Read AR for at least 20 minutes. Remember, you must test on at least 3 books per week. Also, I am now requiring you make at least a 70 on the AR quiz for the book to count. I don't want students rushing through books just to test on them before they are ready.
Note: I will most likely be out next Friday, 1-21-11. I therefore plan to move weekly behavior slips and weekly AR updates to Monday, 1-24-11.
Have a great night!

Wed. 1-05-11 REPORT CARDS SENT HOME TODAY!!
Hello everyone :)
Tonight's homework is to read AR for twenty minutes. FYI: Today your students retook their STAR test today. This test helps to identify their personal reading levels. I am happy to say that everyone is making progress! When we visit the library on Friday, your child may have the opportunity to read a higher reading level. I am excited that we can continue to challenge our students' reading abilities!
PLEASE NOTE: Your child will be coming home with their report cards today. They will not be mailed as in previous six weeks. If you have any questions or concerns you may contact me tomorrow via phone or email.
Also, tomorrow I will be sending home a permission slip to visit the NCTC planetarium in Gainesville. Second and third grade will be going Tuesday, January 18. Please watch for this important letter in your child's folder tomorrow.
Thanks and have a great night!

Tues, Jan. 3
Hello students!
Tonight you will be completing a worksheet reviewing the comma and its use in lists. Remember that commas are always used in a list or following the word "Yes" or "No" at the beginning of a sentence.
For example-
"I need three things from the refrigerator; an onion tomato and lettuce."
Without the commas, it reads as if I need "onion tomato." What on earth is an "onion tomato?" Instead, it should read "I need three things from the refrigerator- an onion, tomato, and lettuce."
Good luck and remember to turn in your book orders if you would like to order.

Monday, Jan. 3- Welcome Back!
Hello everyone! I hope you had a safe and joyous holiday season. I look forward to resuming our learning following a nice, restful two weeks off. :)
Tonight: Each student will have one of three spelling assignments, based on their level of expertise in this week's words. Each child should know their assignment, but if in doubt, have your student write one paragraph using at least five spelling words in the correct manner.
Finally, read AR for twenty minutes. Remember- start early and get those points in now so you can avoid cramming at the last minute.
Glad to see you all back!
