Hello! I apologize for not updating the blog last week. I remember beginning it, but then moved onto something else and forgot to update the rest. I guess my brain is on vacation like many of us these days. Anyhoo, this will be a busy, yet fun week for the kids. We will continue working on Little Red Stories that are really coming along. We have a lot of creative writers in our class and they are enjoying this writing/art project. The homework packet for this week was sent home on Friday and will consist of a Dragon poem to memorize by Thursday, Dec. 20 as well as a math page and reading log. Last week was our last spelling packet for the year (2012 that is). We will resume with our normal packet when we return in January. Math homework will be given on Monday and Tuesday only. We are having a district math benchmark test on Wednesday, so no homework that night.
Our Holiday party is also this Thursday from 12:15-2:20. It will consist of 3 rotations between all 3rd grade classes. This is a new kind of party this year, so we'll see how it all turns out. Regardless, it should be fun for the kids. A reminder that Wednesday is NOT a restructured day. Students will be dismissed at 2:10.
If I don't see you this week, have a truly WONDERFUL Winter Break with your families. See you in 2013!

December 3-7, 2012
December already! I don't know about you, but the holiday is quickly approaching and kids are definitely feeling it. We had a long talk about the "Elf on the Shelf" that has been appearing at the homes of many students. What a great idea! One child asked where to get one and someone said that it just appears. It's nice to see kids in the spirit.
A spelling packet for the Giant of Barletta will go home Monday and is due on Friday. We will have a spelling test on Friday as well. In math, we quickly went through basic measurement and will begin geometry this week. This is a fun unit. Please continue to practice multiplication facts. The kids had an untimed quiz on 1s-4's and most of them did well. They seem to be getting stuck on the higher numbers from 6-9's.
The last day of school before Winter Break is Thursday, December 20. We will have a party that day, so look for details to come soon from our room parent Shawnte.
Hope you are enjoying the rain!
