The Scientific Method

Last week we had a little fun with “Force,” and the Scientific Method. We learned that whenever you play with science you use the scientific method. We asked questions, made predictions, recorded our results, and finally wrote a conclusion.

The main thing we learned is that the more air there is in a ballon the more force you have. We also learned that science can be a lot of fun.

Happy Friday!

Our first week of third quarter is over.

Next Friday will be the 100th day of school. It will also be the POQA read-a-thon. Pledge sheets should have come home. I will allow students to bring a small pillow and blanket to rest on while reading. It is also a dollar dress down day.

Please remember to send a dollar we have to send students to the office to call home if they do not have a dollar.

I am giving out Weber State Basketball tickets for students who read and log 60 minutes of reading over the weekend.

Yesterday, I was out and had a sub. Many of my students were given a good report on work completion and behavior. A few were not. Students who were good received 10 class dojo points. Those students that were not were given negative 10. 

Unfortunately, third grade has been experiencing some bullying behavior. Earlier this week a students lunch was stolen and hidden. Also, during lunch we have students who are picking on each other. Next week we will be discussing and learning about bullying. Monday we will be watching a movie about bullying to start off our learning week. Please take some time to talk to your child. If you have any concerns please let me know.

Have a Great Weekend!!

Have a great week!

Happy Thursday Everyone,

Homework Tonight:

Reading: Free Choice Reading. Don’t forget to log your reading minutes!

Word Work: Work on your spelling tic-tac-toe. Spelling test tomorrow!

Fast Facts and Math. Come tomorrow prepared to pass off one of the facts you haven’t passed off. Work hard!

Tomorrow is the last day of the quarter. Grades should all be current and all the work I have received is in the computer. If you have any questions please let me know as soon as possible. Reports cards should be available by next Friday.

Starting next quarter I will be sending out an email whenever your student has missing work. These will only go to students with missing assignments. It will be a generic email that will go to all students with missing work.
Please look at SIS to see what your student is missing. Unless a child is absent I do not accept late work.

I do let students do sessions on Success Maker to earn extra credit. Also, starting next quarter I will have students submit a log when they do a an Extra Credit Success Maker sessions. This will help me to make sure your child gets credit for their time on Success Maker. If you have any questions please let me know.


Thank You,
Mrs. H
