Hello Third Grade Parents!
Today was a fun but challenging day. We had a ton of class activities to cover, Spelling Test and Pre-test, Rocket Math Drills and Speed Tests, Library, Math Lesson Reviews, make-up tests for absent classmates and Social Studies map activities. As a whole we had one of those days where every move and action was upsetting every classmate (looks, glances, movements, sounds etc.). We were also very, VERY chatty, and missed numerous instructions because of this and I had to repeat instructions and lessons many times. All of this to say, unfortunately our day came to an end abruptly and we did not get to Fun Friday (a 20-30 min. reward time each Friday that rewards students for doing homework and following STAR expectations during the week). When students have Fun Friday-I typically stuff folders with graded papers and conference quickly with them about the papers that are going home, and some of the work they were graded on. Since we did not have this time-students will bring home graded papers on Monday. Please check folders Monday after school. Homework (the Spelling/Reading packet) was still sent home today. Also, Ms. Griffin (front office) would like the emergency cards returned ASAP (no later than Friday), thank you in advance for your help with that. The emergency cards will also be in the folders on Monday if you did not update them online. Thank you to everyone that responded to my note about the curriculum fee, we appreciate the swift responses. Please let me know via email or returning the paper-with what you intend on doing in regards to the fee, or if you need assistance with it. I'm looking forward to a fresh Monday. The majority of students did well for the substitute, and I said that they would be earning a special treat. We will enjoy some donuts and juice Monday morning prior to our Monday Meeting. We will be reading, The Jelly Donut Promise-and talking about being kind and respectful to each other and our teachers. I am looking forward to our meeting, and getting off to a great start on Monday. Our class won Third Place in the Box Top contest, so PTO gave us popsicles to enjoy. We will hopefully enjoy them next Friday in the garden during Science time. Assignment sheet will be given to students on Monday. We have Spirit Week Next Week in honor of Direct Giving Week: Mon.: Crazy Sock Day Tues.: Crazy Hair Day (no perm. color please) Wed.: Sandpiper shirts or wear blue day (News Channel 10 will be here) Thurs.: Sports Day & Hat Day Fri.: Neon Day & Glow Party 6-8pm Thank you to all of the parents that have already donated to PTO (your child will be entered into the drawing that PTO will hold). Also classes that have 100% participation will get a prize (see the blue direct giving packet sent home last Friday for more details). Have a wonderful weekend. Sincerely, Mrs. Harris
