Thursday is SEP night.  This particular night will be open house style.  You may come in and discuss your child and their progress thus far in the year.  I will be in my room from 3:30 until 4:30. I will be sending home their SEP form before Thursday and the 3rd quarter report cards will be available after Monday.

We have parent conferences next Thursday, March 26. Please let me know if you would like to meet with me.

Thank You!!

Our class as a whole did AMAZING on their Chapter 10 fraction test. I am very proud of their hard work learning fractions. We were able to do a lot of hands on activities and we had a lot of fun.

• We are out of Kleenexes and glue sticks again. Any help with donations of these would be greatly appreciated! We also could use some printer paper.
• Remember there is NO SCHOOL this Friday for Teacher Development Day.
• Parent Conferences on Thursday, March 26
• Spring Break is March 30-April 3

THANK YOU AGAIN!! We really do have a great class and GREAT parents!

Remember to sign the attached sort/reading log and turn in homework THURSDAY this week since there is no school on Friday. THANK YOU!!

WE HAD MORE HOMEWORK TURNED IN LAST WEEK THAN ANY OTHER WEEK THIS WHOLE YEAR!!! THANK YOU PARENTS FOR BEING WILLING TO ADAPT AND CHANGE. I hope you like this new log as much as I do!

I wanted to give the parents heads up about a class play we will be working on and performing. We won’t be performing it until the end of the year, but I will need parents help in putting some things together for it. The play is a spin off of The Wizard of Oz. It incorporates Common Core Language Arts and will be a lot of fun for the students. EVERY student will have a part in it. I know some will not be excited at first about it but my experience is that once they start practicing in class they will love it.

I will need each a parent or a group of parents to make some type of a backdrop for the play performance. Last year Ms. Waddell’s class used large refrigerator boxes to do this so it does not have to be fancy by any means. PLEASE contact me if you are interested or willing to help us out with this. I can give you more information as you express interest to me. I know how busy the end of the school year is for parents and students so that is why I’m giving you heads up so early!

Thanks again!!

I also wanted to let parents know that I don’t expect you to print out the speed sort paper or the glue sort unless you would like to. The speed sort can just be timed at home and as long as you sign your signature telling me that your child has done it, I trust you and will give them credit. Feel free to glue the sort on any piece of paper to cut down on printing costs as well.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I want homework accountability to be as effortless as possible for the parents while still holding the students accountable for what they are doing at home.

Thank You! We have a GREAT class this year and I enjoy them all!!

Parents,

I have decided to NOT do a weekly homework organizer anymore and replace it with the Sort/Reading log included in the homework post every week. The log will only be a half sheet which I hope will reduce the printing costs on your part.  I am hoping that it will be easier on the parents and we will have more reading minutes and sort logs turned in. PLEASE turn these in each Friday. It is so important for your third grader to become responsible and accountable for the work they do at home.

I’ve noticed only a few students have used their free homework day that I gave them for Valentine’s Day. Please write “Valentine Gift” on the day that your child decides to take off and I will give them full credit for that day.

Thank You!!
