Typical Thusday

Written by: Nicholas and Josh

Today was a fun day in third grade. We finished writing our speeches for our class election and we are going to be giving them tomorrow. We wonder who will win the election! We had Music this morning and got to play some new instruments. Tomorrow we will have Health. We earned three Teamwork Bingo cards today. We hope tomorrow will be as good as today.

Thanks for reading,
Nick and Josh

From Mrs. S:
-Remember to sign up for a conference on the portal or call our secretary, Mrs. Marcules, to schedule one.

-Unit 1 math profile sheets came home today. Please review, sign, and return to school with your child. The students did a good job on this first unit. They are now used to our math routine in third grade. Our next unit is currently wrapping up and we will be reviewing it and testing on it next week. Just as with the first unit, I will be sending home a review sheet that is very similar to the test, so please make sure your child is completing this as practice.

-CAFE goal sheets came home today. We have been conferencing one-on-one during Reading Workshop and have identified goals for each student to work on. The goal sheets have some tips on how to practice your child's goal at home. Students are expected to know and practice their goals whenever they read.

-Starting next week, there will be a new homework packet coming home. In place of the Reading Logs, we will be starting some word work/spelling pattern practice. Students will receive new words each week with a packet of homework options. The packet is set up like a menu, with an appetizer, main course, and dessert. Students may choose one option from each category to complete. The packets are sent home on Monday and can be completed at your/your child's discretion. They are due back to me every Friday. This will help with your child's reading, writing, and spelling habits.

Thanks for all you do,
Mrs. Slessinger
