Week of August 21, 2017

Announcements

  • 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!
  • **DON’T FORGET we have early out @ 1:30 every Friday this year!!!

Math Homework:
We will start math homework next week, but let’s get our Prodigy accounts set up this week.
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. If you are new to Prodigy, don’t stress. I will do an overview on Monday at school. Students are welcome to explore and spend some time in Prodigy this week (15 minutes a night). I will not grade the students on their Prodigy homework this week, but next week we will start with assignments. 

Reading:
Please make sure your child is reading 20 minutes each night. Please fill out the Reading Log on Friday (of each week).
