Homework 02-28-11

In preparation for our mathematics test tomorrow, I am sending home a review packet. The first page (front and back) should be reviewed with your student to prepare them for tomorrow test. (The test will cover probability, pictographs and bar graphs.) Then students must complete the second worksheet as homework.
Read AR for 20 mintues.

Please read my previous post from Mr. Baker. Thank-you!

Dear students,

I am sorry we had a mad dash to make it out the door today! Sometimes I think I cram in just a bit too much learning for one day. :)

I appreciate all your help getting everything together so quickly. We will definitely be doing Treasure Box on Monday.

Have a great weekend and please continue to read your AR books. Also, enjoy all those new books you got from our book fair. You and your family helped to make it a wonderful success!

Homework 02-24-11

This week we read "Make Way for Ducklings," a fantasy story about a family of ducks. For your homework tonight, I would like you to write a fantasy story using your spelling words. The topic is up to you, but please incorporate as many spelling words as you can. Also, please underline each spelling word so I can make sure you used them in your story. There is no specific length I would like you to reach, just make your story interesting to read.
Read AR.

I look forward to reading your work!
Mrs. Anderson :)

Have a wonderful evening and please check your child's folder for important information on next week's book fair.

Substitute Day 2-10-11

Hello students! I am very sorry to have missed out on spending a day with you all. However, my eldest is sick and unfortunately Mom trumped Teacher today. :)

Homework: Complete you AR book report if you have not already done so. Remember, all three assignments I sent home on Tuesday will be due tomorrow.
Study for tomorrow's spelling test.
Finish up those final AR points. AR closes tomorrow at lunch and our AR party will be tomorrow afternoon. Don't forget my promise- if everyone comes I will bring something extra special to share.

Have a wonderful night and I will see you bright and early tomorrow morning.

Mrs. Anderson

Wow- what a day!

Whew! We are exhausted! In anticipation of a possible snow day tomorrow, third grade completed a massive amount of learning and testing all in one day. I am very impressed with everyone's hard work and committment.
I also sent home a HUGE amount of graded work today, so parents please keep an eye out for your child's latest graded work.

Homework:
For tonight students must write each of their spelling words three times each. Then write 2-3 sentences at the end of the worksheet using spelling words from this week's list.

NOTE:  I am also sending home Wednesday's and Thursday's homework just in case. Wednesday, each student will complete the 100th day poem frame. Thursday, each student will complete a AR book report on ONE of the several books they have brought home. (You can draw your favorite part of the book on the back if you like.)

Hopefully, I will see you all tomorrow and we won't have any more snow days, but it is better to be prepared than rushing to squeeze it all in before report cards next week.

THANK-YOU STUDENTS FOR RISING TO THE CHALLENGES OF A TRYING DAY! I AM SO VERY PROUD TO HAVE SUCH SMART, DILIGENT STUDENTS!!

Mrs. Anderson

P.S. Please continue to read. AR closes on Friday at lunch. :)

100th Day of School...finally!

Welcome back students! We have a lot of catching up to do to make up for our impromptu vacation. :) This week is going to require a great deal of hard work on the part of each student. Our AR party is this Friday, so we only have four more days to reach those goals.

Homework: Three dimensional figures worksheet. Read AR. PLEASE REACH THOSE GOALS! Remember, I will bring a special treat if all my wonderful students make their personal goals.

Have a great night! Our solar system test will be tomorrow morning, so make sure you get plenty of rest tonight. And don't forget: MY VERY EXCELLENT MOTHER JUST SERVED US NINE PIZZAS. :)

Mrs. Anderson

SNOW DAY!!!!

Bundle up and enjoy the winter weather while it lasts! Have a wonderful time building snowmen, having snow ball fights and, hopefully, (since we went to the library on Monday) snuggle up with a good book.  http://www.weather.com/weather/today/Tioga+TX+USTX1362

Stay safe everyone!
Mrs. Anderson :)
