Congratulations! Mrs. Hutchinson’s third class won the reading competition. I am so proud of all of you that read, read, read, and read!!  As a class you read 14,656 minutes in 19 days. You are truly amazing. Thank you to all the parents who encouraged their student to read! You deserve a round of applause, or perhaps a great big bear hug from your third grader of choice. We did such a fantastic job I can’t wait to see how we do the rest of the school year. A special shout out for our top readers. These are students who read over 1000 minutes.

Thank you for all the Christmas gifts I am feeling extremely spoiled. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Mrs. H   P.S. Look for a special post on Christmas Eve!

The only homework this week is reading. Please read and log nightly. A few quick reminders. Anyone who doesn’t turn in logging minutes will not be able to participate in our reading celebration. Our competition ends December 20th at 8:30 am. All minutes must be logged by that time. No minutes will be accepted after 8:30. Last, have a great week and enjoy reading. Today was the kickoff for our Grinch week. Thursday we will have a Grinch afternoon with lots of fun Grinch activities. Your child should have brought home a permission slip tonight for a Grinch heart cookie. Please sign and return the permission slip as soon as possible. If the permission note did not make it home there is one below.

I think holiday cheer is in full force. Our classroom is one of chatter and holiday excitement. I believe it is safe to begin a final countdown. Only 9 more school days until Christmas break. Make sure under your Santa cap you have your thinking cap. We have lots of learning to achieve in the next 9 days. 🙂 Reading: Read and log minutes. Remember you must log minutes in order to participate in our December reading fun. Language Arts: Tuesday WTW Work and Tuesday fluency. Mathematics: 10 minutes or mastery whichever comes first, IXL R.10 Area. Multiplication mastery test Friday 3’s and 4’s.
  Also, any center assignments not completed during centers need to be finished at home. Below is a picture of today’s board assignments. Students have nearly 90 minutes to complete all center assignments. 🙂                 Example: Letter to Santa Rough Draft                   Example: Country Report Rough Draft                     PS Whenever possible the kids go outside for recess. Sometimes it is pretty cold outside please help them to remember to dress warm. 🙂 Merry Christmas Mrs. H

Wow! I am super impressed with all of your reading. I can’t believe that we are almost to 5,000 minutes. Keep it up and we may win a special surprise from the administration. I know that the holidays are a busy time of the year but we still need to work hard at school and keep focused. Next week homework will only be reading so work really hard this week. Reading: Read, read, read and log minutes. All but 8 students logged last week GREAT JOB!!! Language Arts: Monday WTW work, Monday Fluency, and Spelling City spelling test and vocabulary test due Friday. Mathematics: IXL Perimeter R.7 (students who mastered this last time are excused). Practice, practice, practice for your multiplication mastery test. Students must achieve an 80% or higher to move on to the next number. This week we have students taking 3’s and 4’s mastery test. Announcement: Friday is a dollar dress down day. The money raised will be donated to the Angel tree in the 5-9 building. This tree helps families at Quest.
