Welcome to Third Grade Blog

August
This was a busy time getting used to school rules, procedures and settling into our routine. Our work had lots of review and learning about each other. Off to a Great start!

September
We got to meet parents at Open House. This was nice and parents even left messages of encouragement in the children's Draftbooks. We began selecting Students of The Week, where the children would send complimentary letters to that person. All the letters are then bound into a booklet form to keep at the end of the week. The children really enjoy this.

October
We had our first report card go home! Time to really bring up grades. The end of the month
had lots of fun with our Harvest Fest. This year, we joined with Central teachers and brought lots more families to play the games. Academically , we have begun cursive undercurve letters.
The children are really enjoying their "new" writing .

November
Welcome November and our Thanksgiving Feast, which we'll have more information on soon in our weekly newsletter. We are learning about Early Explorers in Social Studies and Verbs in our Language. In Music, the children will begin learning words to a winter song for the program they'll be giving in early December. Keep an eye open in the Link and our weekly Newsletter for day and time.
Goodbye for now. See you in December for more classroom updates!
