9/20/18 Third Grade

Dear Families,
We had a wonderful trip to the Tunbridge Fair last week!  We want to thank our chaperones who spent the day with us.  We appreciate you giving up your day so that our students can participate in this wonderful learning experience!  Here is what we have been up to:

Reading:  Students have all selected 'Just Right' books and are working on building up their reading stamina and responding to what they have read.  We are continuing to sample books from our classroom library so that we can become more familiar with what we have.

Writing: Writers are in the 'gathering ideas' stage of writing.  We are using our heart maps and idea banks to store ideas we may have for stories.

Reader of the Month: We are excited to announce that we have partnered with the Ainsworth Public Library and created a 'Reader of the Month' program.  This award will be given to students who demonstrate the habits of success during our literacy block, show an excitement for reading, and participate during our discussions.  Two students in third and fourth grade will receive this honor each month.  They will be invited to walk down to the library in town with a school staff member, have lunch, do an activity with Ms. Snow (the Head Librarian), get library cards, and check out books.  We would like to announce that this month Logan D. and Collin have been selected!

Upcoming Dates:
10/4    All School Hike
10/5    No School, Teacher in-service
10/8    No School, Columbus Day
10/31  Early Release Day, Teacher in-service PM
