Just a reminder that our cookie dough fundraiser is wrapping up and all order forms and money are due this Monday, Sept. 10.  Thank you for supporting this fundraiser!!! 

We had our first class store and I think the kids enjoyed using their hard earned money to buy some fun things.  We are almost done with our dibels testing and I should have a better idea of each of the kiddos reading levels by the end of this week.  In math we are learning how to do multiplication.  Your child will be coming home with a letter that explains what we are doing in class. If you have any questions about homework, please check the homework tab. Thank you for helping your child at home to be successful at school!

Another great week here in 3rd grade!  We are really starting to get into the swing of things. Our homework accountability starts next week. 

Reading Logs: Look for the monthly reading log to come home tomorrow. I am asking that your child read at least 20 minutes, 5 days a week. Please don’t forget to fill out the log each night. You can also ask your child what they are reading about and ask them for details!! The reading logs will be due the last day of each month. 

MATH Homework: I will also be sending home a paper about Reflex math.  It will explain how to access this program and your child’s password to log on. They need to work for the “green light” every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday. 
*Please let me know if you have any questions.  

Upcoming events:  Don’t forget that tomorrow is a Dollar $1 Dress Down Day!
                       No School Monday 9/03 – Labor day
                       Starting our reading fluency testing on Tuesday 9/04
                       Cookie Dough fundraiser papers due Monday 9/10

Our first few days of third grade have been great!! We have been busy getting to know each other, learn our classroom procedures, and our daily routines.  It has been a joy to get to know each and every student, and I am looking forward to watching them learn and grow this year. Tomorrow is Spirit Friday! Students may wear Quest spirit t-shirts with uniform bottoms. 
Here are some other upcoming events next week.
