We will miss you, sweet Mollie!
One of the hardest things for a teacher to do is to say farewell to a student. Our smart, creative, kind, helpful, funny, and sweet Mollie has moved to Oregon with her family. As hard as we tried to hold on to her, we just couldn’t convince her parents to let her finish out the year with us. We wish her a fun, exciting, and adventurous journey. Thanks for being an amazing friend, and part of our 3rd Grade Quest family.

Classroom Information:
On Friday, we had our very first Mastery raffle. Students have been working hard on their individualized learning path on iReady. For every lesson or quiz that is completed with a Mastery level of 3 or 4 (80% and up), they earn a raffle ticket. At the end of each week we hold a drawing for a fun prize. All tickets will then go into an end-of-year drawing. This is being done in each 3rd grade classroom, and we hope that it will be a fun motivator for students to put their best effort into each and every lesson.

Changing Weather:
The weather is getting cooler and we are bound to have some rainy and snowy days. Please make sure that your child comes to school prepared for the weather of the day. Snow boots, coats, rain jackets, and gloves are helpful to have on hand during these colder months.

Lost Coat?
Our Lost & Found is overflowing! If your child has brought a coat, hat, gloves to school and they have disappeared they could, very well, be in the lost & found bin in the lobby. Please remind your child to take a look, and I promise to give them a reminder as well.

Homework:

No surprises! 20 minutes of reading every night and Reflex. Please make sure that your child gets a green light in Reflex AT LEAST 3 times during the week. If doing Reflex at home is not possible at times, please send me an email or Bloomz message so that I can arrange for your child to have an opportunity to get it completed at school.

Work hard. Be kind.
