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.

  • September is here!  The last two weeks of school have flown by while we have been busy learning routines and  getting to know each other.  The school is also in full swing with our annual fundraising.  There is still time to sell cookie dough or beef jerky.  This is our only fundraiser for the year, so please help out our school.

1. Scholastic Summer Reading Program

For this one, there is a username and password for your child.  I will send that information individually.


2.   This is a great resource for those kiddo’s that can’t get to the public libraries that much over the summer. 
http://www.daviscountyutah.gov/library/
Clink on “eResources” (bottom of page)
Under ebooks & audiobooks select “Overdrive ebooks & audio books”
(they will have to download the overdrive app or can use the “libby” app.)
They can type in a search for kids books & start selecting. 
https://www.weberpl.lib.ut.us/
Go to “Download” then select either ebooks or audiobooks
Students can choose to download any of the apps:

                Axis360
                Overdrive
                Tumblebooks

They can type in a search for kids books & start selecting.

3.    The following is for Barnes & Noble books stores.   All the kiddos have to do is read 8 books, write some info in a journal that they can print off  & take to the store to choose a FREE book.  The list of free books are great!

4.     Utah State Fair Read & Win
