Many students are wondering when we will have our "Care and Share" celebration that was scheduled before break. We are rescheduling it! Yippee! I hope everyone has planned and prepared to make their ornament as we had planned. Just remember that the ornament can be anything, an animal, a flower, the sun, an insect.....anything. It does not have to be Christmas related, especially now that Christmas is over. The "Care and Share" celebration is now rescheduled for Wednesday, January 9th. Please have any materials needed for the ornament either by Tuesday or Wednesday. We will exchange ornaments on Friday, January 11th, but will created them on the 9th. Please see that your 3B student is ready with his/her materials. Also, if you were a parent that volunteered to donate snacks for the celebration, please send those snacks with your child on Wednesday. Thanks so much! Thanks to those who have sent them already!
If your child has not returned his/her December reading calendar, I would like them to do it as soon as possible. The January reading calendar was sent home before Christmas with a goal of 350 minutes. Remember that everyone who meets their goal and returns their calendar every month gets to have a celebration with me at the end of April as well as a free pizza coupon each month of participation. Keep reading!
Some students are bringing home a math test they did right before break. It is on measurement. There are a few students who still need to finish and will be bringing their test home tomorrow or Wednesday. You do not need to return them but I would encourage you to go over the test with the students, as we ran out of time today due to having Guidance this afternoon. Measuring to the nearest 1/4 of an inch was difficult for many, but it is not an expected "mastered" skill for third grade. We will continue to review and work on that as well as adding and subtracting large numbers (still difficult for many). Our next unit in math will be on multiplication.
I would also like to introduce a new face in our classroom. Her name is Miss. Thorson and she will be a JTerm student in our room for the month of January. The students were very excited to meet her this morning. This is her first experience in the classroom and I know it will be a great one for her. Expect a short note from her by the end of the week where she will introduce herself a little bit more to you, the parents. She will be in the classroom Monday thru Thursday.
Have a great week! Thanks for all the wonderful holiday gifts!!! I missed the students a lot over break but was happy to receive so many emails from some of them and see many making videos on Animoto on their own. There is nothing better when students work on project from their own passion!!!!!
