A huge thank you to all that made the first week of school amazing!! Thank you to everyone who signed up to volunteer, everyone who donated supplies to our classroom and to your amazing children. I am the luckiest teacher because I have the best class. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Here are some of the things that we learned this week.
7-UP Sentences – Ask your child what a 7-UP sentence is and see if they can tell you the five questions we answer in a 7-UP sentence. If your child writes a good 7-UP sentence over the weekend and brings it to me on Monday, I will let them choose something from the prize box. It must be a good sentence.
MAGIC – The students are now magicians. We learned how to play a magic trick with a deck of cards. Have your student demonstrate their ability to perform magic. You will need a deck of cards with the numbers 2-9 and the Ace card. You will n0t need tens, jacks, queens or kings. Once your child has the cards, sit back and enjoy the show!
- Chrysanthemum – We learned about Chrysanthemum and her absolutely perfect name. We learned about what happens to her at school and how it made her feel. Ask your child to retell you the story of Chrysanthemum. Retelling a story is a huge part of third grade. Many students can be great readers, but it does not mean that they can tell you what they read. When you read with your child ask questions to see if they can recall what they read. If they cannot tell you, you might want to pick easier books for your child to read.
