Remember that we have our field trip on Wednesday. Please have your child at the Roy Frontrunner station at 8:15 and pick them up at 2:45. Students will need to bring their backpacks with their lunch inside. They also may bring a game or book for the train ride down. Please NO electronic devices. Thanks!
Remember to bring BOX TOPS in! We are number 1 again! Our class knows that third grade rocks and we love to be #1!!!
Parent Conferences on Thursday from 3:30-5:30
Early out this Friday as well as Dollar Dress Down Day.
Remember to READ at least 5 times a week for 20 minutes! It is imperative that your child is participating in reading practice at home. Studies have shown that the more words a child read, the better their achievement is in all other areas. We will be starting book talks where the students talk about what they read the night before. Not only are they given homework points for reading, but they will be given participation points for discussing what they’ve read the night before. Thanks!

HOMEWORK Word Sort Groups
Red Group: yellow sort 41 Cherokee, Emily, Nathan, Garrett, Kayl, Daxon, Aleksander, Katie, Lana
Sorts – Please print the words out and have them pick from the following categories to do nightly at home: (1 sort each night)
1. Sort your words into categories -Always do this one on Monday night and have your child explain the rule to you. The rest of the week, your child may choose what he/she would like to do for the rest of the week. 2. Turn the word sorts face down. Time your child to see how long it takes them to sort them into the correct categories. (You may only choose this sort to do once a week) 3. Write the words 3x each. 4. Write the words in ABC order 5. Give your child a practice spelling test. 6. Play ball – Have your child grab someone to play catch and let the fun begin. The person helping your child will say the word to him/her and he/she will spell the work back to you. Every time your child throws the ball have them say one letter of the word. Continue until your child has spelled the word. If your child makes a mistake, correctly spell the word for them, and have them start over. 7. Speed Sort- Time your child 3 times to see how fast they can sort their words. 8. Glue sort- Have your child glue the sort on a piece of paper. 9. Syllable Sort- Sort the words according to how many syllables they have.
Do I have any parents that would be willing to decorate our classroom door for Dr. Seuss Week? It will need to be up by the first week in March. Please let me know if this would be something you’d be interested in doing. Thanks so much, Mrs. Lloyd
We have parent conferences on Thursday, February 25 from 3:30-5:30. Please let me know if you would like to meet with me. Otherwise, I will start contacting parents that I haven’t seen in awhile. It is great to share your child’s successes with you so please make it a priority to get with me at least once or twice throughout the school year.
Thanks! We are having a great year and I adore each student in my class!
Just a friendly reminder that the field trip permission slips are due back tomorrow. Also, all parents that would like to come need to pay $6.00 to the front office by tomorrow as well. This money will cover the adult admission into the Clarke Planetarium. Please keep in mind that all parents that sign up to come on the field trip with us will get a small group of students that you will be in charge of throughout the day. Thanks so much for all your willingness to help!
