Reading Homework
Our goal is to have student’s read 20 minutes per night. 

Math Homework
Each student will need to get onto www.reflexmath.com (access under student links on the Quest website, or on the blogs sidebar under Homework Links) and complete their “green light” Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday (3 sessions). Students have practiced logging in the last week but, just in case they don’t remember, the class username is “shark″ and all passwords are “rams”.  If students do not complete Reflex at home they will complete it during recess time.

Apple Witches

Apple Witch Example3rd grade has a tradition of carving and dressing apple witches each fall. It is a super fun project that we will connect with a writing activity. Apple witches will be carved in September and set out dry until we dress them in October, just in time for Halloween. We will be carving our apple witches on Friday morning.  I need every student to bring one medium sized apple (we will not be eating them) by Thursday September 20th. The apple needs to be medium size, too big and it will rot, too small and the face won’t be visible.  

In order to do this, I need several parent volunteers who would be willing to come into our class on Friday, September 21st at 10:00 and help with this project for an hour or so. 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. 

Later, I will also need a few parent volunteers to sew (at home) extra witch costumes (very easy sewing).  If you would like to volunteer, you may let me know on BLOOMZ, email, or comment on this post.

This note was sent home Friday. Let me know if there are any questions. There is a little wiggle room on the October 8th deadline because we aren’t dressing our witches until the 20th. 

Dear Parents,

            Your third grader is in the process of making an apple witch.  For this project, your student needs to bring a few items from home.  If you have any problems providing the materials needed, please email me as soon as possible.  If we do not hear from you, we will not have extra materials available for your child.  Your student will need these materials by Thursday, October 8th.  If he/she brings them before then, great.  Attached is a pattern for the dress, gloves and a hat.  Dress Pattern Please have all of these items precut and the dress sewn together, leaving a very small space open  (Just big enough for a skewer to fi through) for the neck. If you can make the hat, that would be very helpful also (just roll the hat top into a cone, and glue it in the middle of the hat brim). Place all parts in a baggie and label them with your child’s name.  Following these steps will save A LOT OF TIME!  Note: If you cannot sew the dress, please send it precut and we have some fabulous moms who will help us with sewing.

Materials

  • 1 Square foot of any material (Cut out the using the dress pattern)
  • 1 to 2 Small pieces of felt (Any color you want to match your material.  Use the glove pattern and cut out 4.  You may use the same piece, or a different color to cut out the hat.
  • 1 six inch stick or twig from a tree for a broomstick.  Please do not send a dowel. It should be about the size that was shown in class.

I will provide your student with yarn for hair and the needed pipe cleaner for the arms.  Upon completion of this portion of the project, your student will be writing about the character they have made.  We will then send the apple witch home with a fun story about it.   This project will store for many years to come.

We will be dressing our apple witches on Tuesday, October 20th, starting at 1:30.  If you can help us that day, please sign the note below and return to school as soon as possible.

Thanks,

Miss Young

Hooper City’s Annual Halloween Haunt

This message was sent to teachers along with a white paper bag for each student. The bags will be sent home on Friday.

It is once again time for Hooper City’s Annual Halloween Haunt. It will be held on Saturday, October 18th, from 6:30 – 9:00 p.m., at Hooper Park, 5600 South 6100 West. The favorite part of the Haunt is the luminaries made by the school children. We are asking your class to help us with this project. The luminaries can be made on the white paper sack, by drawing, pinpoking a picture, or stapling/taping on a picture. If you would please also have your students fold down the top of the sack, that would be most appreciated. This helps the bags stay open and not catch fire. We will be collecting completed bags on Monday, October 6th. If you are not able to help with this, would you please return the bags, so we can use them next year.

Thanks so much,
Sheri Bingham
