We have out first full week of school! We are starting to get into the routine of our day, but we are not quite up and running in all areas yet.

Starting Tuesday, Sept. 13, we will have our first official math class switch. Some students will stay with me and some will go to Mrs. Jensen or Mrs. Devlin's based on their pretest and what the teachers have seen in class so far. These are flexible groups so there might be some movement in them.
This will also be the first time the students will be using Schoology to access their math book. This is brand new to us and will take some time getting use to it.

We are going to have our first practice using Words Their Way this week. Everyone will have the same words and we will practice going through all the steps this week. We will also practice how the test will be given on Friday. Since it is just a practice, you will not see the words this week.

Your child should bring home a weekly Reading/Facts/Words goal sheet today. The third grade teachers would like the students to read 20 minutes each night, practice facts for 10 minutes and practice their spelling words for 10 minutes each night. We understand that sometimes things come up, but please try to help your child do their homework on a daily basis. You will also notice that Words is crossed out this week, because they don't have words to officially practice. If you notice words that they misspell when they are writing and you think they should know how to spell it, you can definitely work on those words. If you have any questions, please contact me.

Congratulations to Rylie for being our first Super Student! I am sure I will be posting more Super Students next week!

Reminder: Picture Day is tomorrow, Tuesday, Sept. 13.
