Hello! This week a Theme 1-Spelling Review packet will be sent home with the reading log and multiplication facts page. This will be due Friday. Students will not have math homework the night of Halloween. They'll be happy about that! Our Halloween parade will begin at 8:15 in the upper grade playground. We will have our class party from 9:55-11:05. (Thank goodness for the short day!). If you would like to volunteer please let me know. We will have several "centers" going on; art, cookie decorating, spooky musical chairs, and one more activity. Students are allowed to wear their costumes to school. They are not allowed to bring anything that is inappropriate.
On October 22, our school began RTI. Things are going well so far and it's great having a smaller class during the reading block. Please be sure your child comes to school on time. Students come into the class at 7:55 and we begin right away until 9:00. Kids who have come in late seem a bit disoriented as we have already begun working.
Thank you to those who sent in wipes and pencils. With flu season approaching, it's nice to wipe down the desks on a regular basis. Lice is also going around again, so be sure to take precautions when play dates are scheduled.
Have a wonderful Halloween!

Oct. 22-26, 2012
This week RTI will begin Monday promptly at 8:00. If your child is late to school, please send them directly to their RTI class. Teachers will pass out tardy slips to give to the office. We are beginning with the story Anthony Reynoso, Born to Rope, so a spelling packet will be sent home and due on Friday the 26th.
I know many kids are excited for multiplication, and we will begin that on Monday as well. The spelling packets will soon have multiplication practice attached. Please work with your child at home on all facts from 2's through 10's. It's essential that students learn these facts in 3rd grade because they build up in the upper grades.
We will be having a Halloween party next Wednesday, October 31st in our class from 9:55-11:05. Please let me know if you'd like to help out. Kianna's mom and Jack's mom are getting this together for the class.
Wish list: pencils and hand wipes: flu season is on it's way:(
Have a great weekend!

It was nice having the chance to speak to you about your children this past week. Thanks to all who were able to conference either in person or on the phone:)
This week, a packet for The Keeping Quilt will be due on Friday. We will have a spelling test on Friday. We will also continue to practice subtracting larger numbers. The kids are beginning to get it. We'll keep plugging away. We are also starting choir on Thursday. This will be every Thursday for 50 minutes. I'm excited to see what song choices the students will learn this year.
Our field trip to the Museum of Natural is coming up on Friday, October 19. I'm short on drivers and need about 3 more to come along. Please let me know if you are available. We will leave school at approximately 9:30 and arrive back around 11:30. Also, driver paperwork needs to be turned in if you haven't done so already.

Conference Week Oct 8-12
Hello Families,
Due to parent/teacher conferences, students will be dismissed at 12:20 all week. Homework club will resume on October 15 as well. Since we are having short days, the homework packet will include a Social Studies (Government) study guide, math facts practice and reading log. There will be no spelling test Friday, instead there will be a 10 point Government quiz. We are also beginning Chapter 4 in math, subtraction with regrouping. This skill can be especially challenging for 3rd graders, so please spend some time checking your child's math homework. They may need support with this.
Our field trip to the Museum of Natural History is coming up on Friday, October 19. Please be sure to turn in the permission form and $1.00 for your child. The 19th is also the Harvest Festival. A note was send home the other day asking for volunteers. Please turn the form into me or the office.
I look forward to meeting with you all again during conferences. Again, if the time scheduled doesn't work, let me know ASAP. I have only 20 minutes per conference and many are back to back.
