- On Thursday September 14th from 2:00-3:00 we will be carving apples for apple witches. Please send a medium-sized apple to school with your child by Wednesday September 13th (we will not be eating them). If you would like to volunteer, you may let me know on BLOOMZ, email or comment on this post please.
We will need 8 parent volunteers, 1/8 teaspoons (at least 10), and apple peelers (at least 8). If you have any of these items but cannot attend, please send them with your child, and I will make sure that they get back to you. - DON’T FORGET we have early out @ 1:30 every Friday this year!!!
- This Friday’s dollar dress down is in support of those effected by Hurricane Harvey. All funds will be sent to their aid.
Math Homework:Please go to prodigygame.com (or click on the link to the right, under math). Your student’s login information is the last week’s post. Please have your child do Prodigy for at least 15 minutes (M-Th).
I need each student/parent to use the class code: B6F93B to add to “Miss Young’s Class-3rd Grade”. That way, if you already have an account, I can see your login and password.
Reading Homework:
Please make sure your child is reading 20 minutes each night. Please fill out the Reading Log on Friday (of each week).
As many of you already know I have been having some problems with my leg. For the past four weeks have been seeing the doctor to try and solve things non-surgically. Things have progressed beyond that point, and my doctor told me surgery is my only option for relief. So, I am going to have surgery tomorrow on my back. I am going to be gone Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of next week.
Our class will be in the very capable hands of Mrs. Maxfield, Mrs. Arrington (SPED Director), Mrs. Alexander (3rd Grade teacher), our SPED rover for a few hours, and a substitute teacher. Mrs. Maxfield will be with them the whole time and will be assisted by the other teachers mentioned I have meticulously planned out my time so that we are right on track and progressing smoothly. I will be face timing with the class on a regular basis, I will even be teaching a few lessons from home! Isn’t technology is so great?!
I am so sad to leave our class even for a day, so this is going to be a challenge. Our class has been working hard and learning a ton these first few weeks of school. I am excited to see their progress when I return.
I will still be accessible through email or bloomz (if you have not signed up for bloomz, please do so) if there are any questions or concerns. Please understand that it may take me a little longer to respond. 🙂

- I will try and post our weekly classroom post on Sunday nights. Make sure you subscribe to the class blog, so you are emailed when I post to the blog. That will be a nice reminder for you, but you can expect to get it on Sunday evenings.
- The Solar Eclipse is happening on Monday, August 21st, and our whole morning is going to be devoted to learning and watching it. We have purchased solar glasses for all the third grade students that they will get to keep after we finish using them. This will be such a cool and fun activity that happens every 100 years!!
- School Picture day is also on Monday, August 21st. I sent a form home last week if you are interested in purchasing them. You can also purchase them online later if you love them after you see the proofs.
- We are learning Place Value in math this week, and we will be using food (saltines, pretzel sticks, and chocolate chips) for manipulatives with this skill. Please check the blog post from last week with the food permission slip, and sill out the Google Form ASAP. Thanks so much!
