9/23/22 Third Grade

 Dear Families,

We have had a wonderful week in third grade!  Your children continue to consistently demonstrate the Blue Devil Way...they are amazing!  Here is what we have been up to:

Humanities:  In reading, we have been continuing to work on how to choose books and what a 'Just Right' book is.  We are previewing books in our library and selecting books for our browser bins.  In writing, we have chosen an idea and started our first entries in our writer's notebooks.  We also spent the week memorizing how to spell the days of the week!  We encourage you to practice with your child.

Upcoming Dates:

9/28    Open House 

10/7    All School Hike*

*Information will be coming home soon

High/Low

The internet was down this morning so we had to write our High/Lows!

Welcome!

 

Welcome to a new year of third grade!  We try to update our blog every Friday after our Third Grade Meeting.  Students brainstorm things that went well this week, their 'highs' and things that were difficult, their 'lows'.  We also update you on what we have been doing and always end with a picture! 

Dear Families,

What an amazing start to our school year!  Students have adjusted well to new expectations and routines.  We had a WONDERFUL day at the Tunbridge Fair yesterday!  We'd like to thank all of our chaperones for making this trip possible.  Here is what we have been up to:

Humanities:

We have been launching both Reader's and Writer's Workshops!  In reading, students are learning how to select 'just right' books and getting to know our classroom library. In writing, students are gathering ideas by listening to other stories.

Upcoming Dates:

9/21        1 pm dismissal

9/29        Open House 5-6:30pm

10/7        All School Hike
