I hope you all had a wonderful break and holiday! I am excited to start our new adventures in 2016! I really missed my class and I am excited to get back! This week will be very busy as we are almost half way through the school year. Can you believe it!? We will be working on text dependent writing from non-fiction text, finishing up main idea, and learning about fables. We also will be working HARD to get our multiplication facts down. We will be finishing up 6′s, 7′s, and 8′s this week so please have your child work on them at home as well. Our multiplication madness party is February 14th, which is coming up fast. We set a goal at the beginning to have everyone pass off their 0-10s. We would love any help we can get to reach that goal! Thank you for support!
Anyone can wear ugly sweaters tomorrow with uniform pants without paying. The kids do have the choice to dress down. It will a Dollar Dress Down day to raise money for the Angel Tree. The Angel Tree will provide needs for Quest families this Christmas.
I hope everyone is having a great week! WE are having SAGE Interim Math Testing next week. The SAGE Interim testing is giving us a baseline to show improvement from December to May. This is the first time your children have seen this test. It’s very good for them to get comfortable to the way the questions are asked and how t use the tools on the computer. Please contact me if you have any question. Thanks for your support!
A part of STEM is learning to give back and being involved in the global community. For our first project, we wanted to show gratitude by sharing what we have with others who may not be as fortunate as we are. Thanksgiving is a perfect time to focus on others. Our new friends in Bottle Hollow, Utah are in need of school supplies and books. Their classrooms don’t have classroom libraries or access to any technology and they have very few school supplies.
Our third grade will be collecting gently used books, pencils, colored pencils, crayons, notebooks (of all kinds), lined paper, construction paper, glue, two pocket folders. and scissors.
Any donation would be appreciated. If you have another idea of how to help our just want to know what has already been given, write a comment or an email and I will get back to you ASAP.
We will be preparing and wrapping the gifts to send on November 16. Please have all donations turned in by that day.
