Hello! The kids did a wonderful job memorizing the poems assigned to them last week. I was really impressed by how well they did. This week we are back to our normal spelling packet for The Waterfall. Students will have a spelling test for these words on Friday.
I'm sending a conference reminder sheet home with your child on Monday. It shows the day and time I have you scheduled. If the time doesn't work, please let me know ASAP so we can reschedule.
We have a field trip scheduled on October 19th to the Museum of Natural History near Seabright Beach. Please send in $1.00 to cover the cost of this trip. It is $30 per class, chaperones are free.
Have a great, sunny weekend! See you at conferences!

September 24-28, 2012
Hello! In lieu of a spelling packet this week, the homework packet will consist of 3 poems, a math page and a reading log. We are asking for all students to memorize 2 short poems by Friday. This is good practice for public speaking and memory. Students will then be asked to recite the poems to the class by Friday. Please help your child practice this week.
In math, we are finishing up chapter 2 (ordering and rounding numbers) and will move on to chapter 3, addition. There may be a short quiz this week on chapter 2.
If you haven't signed up for a conference yet, please do so. I sent home a few reminders last week. I will also send home a confirmation next week or the week after with our scheduled time. Hope to see you all the week of Oct. 8-12.
Have a great weekend!

Hello! It was great seeing you all at Back to School Night. I hope my presentation was clear and informative. If you were unable to make it, I put a packet in your child's cubby for your review. Feel free to email me if you have any questions. I will also send home a copy of the conference list to everyone who signed up. If you did not sign up, I will send home a list of available times, so please pick your top 2 choices so I can fit you in. If you signed up for a time that has a conflict, let me know so we can reschedule. Conferences are October 8-12. That whole week students will be dismissed at 12:20.
On Monday a new spelling homework packet will go home for The Ballad of Mulan. This will be due on Friday. We are also beginning a new chapter in math (Chapter 2-Ordering numbers). On Friday, students were tested on Chapter 1 for place value, so this test will go home early in the week for your review. A reminder that Tuesday is library day for our class. 3rd graders are able to check out 2 books at a time. Students are free to renew their books, but need to return them when they are finished. Students who have a hard time remembering will only get to check one book out at a time.
A big thank you to the driver/chaperones who came to the fair on Thursday. It was an eventful, yet tiring field trip. That's all for now. Hope you are having a fabulous, sunny weekend!
