End of the Week

This week has flown by in third grade! Thank you for sending in headphones and/or earbuds for your student. We will use them for listening to reading and working in a math program called Dreambox. Please look for your student's google login card and typing pal login card. Keep them handy so your student can login from home.

This week we've been learning about Growth Mindset. Ask your student what having a growth mindset means. If you want to learn more you can access the classroom dojo series we watched.

Our classroom read aloud is the book Wonder. We've been discussing Mr. Brown's first precept. Ask your student what "When given the choice between being right and being kind. Choose Kind." means.

September

The start of third grade has been great. We've been working hard to establish a caring and respectful learning community. We've been establishing our Daily 5 routines during literacy block, exploring our Student Reference Book and our manipulatives in math, and delving into our first Project Based Learning Experience (PBL). Please ask your student about our PBL experience so far.

Open House is coming up. Please join us for an evening of learning about our third grade experiences and curriculum on Thursday, September 14, 2017. I look forward to sharing our experiences thus far with you and answering any questions you may have. 

Thank you for sending in supplies for our classroom to share. It makes a great impact on our learning community. 

Also, please look for information coming home about our fundraising efforts for the victims of Hurricane Harvey.
