Coins for Classrooms
Our school has raised $5,584.20 for classrooms in need. Our class raised $389.42. Thank you for your generosity. I know the money will go to good use in rebuilding classrooms in the areas devastated by the hurricane. As a result of our class having raised the most money in 3rd grade, we get to have a spooky flashlight reading in the library next month. Fun!!!
Practice Spelling Test
On the weeks that we have our practice spelling tests, I have a meeting on Fridays during specials. This means that I have no time to grade the tests to give back to the students before the end of the day. I let the kids vote on how they wanted to handle this -- take the practice test on Thursday and get the graded test that afternoon or take the practice test on Friday and get the graded test on Monday. They voted to take the practice test on Thursday. The regular test will still be given on Friday. So... our practice test this week is Thursday.
Mixtures
Thank you so much for signing up to send donations for our mixtures project. If you didn't get a chance to sign up for something and still would like to donate, just choose something and send it in. It will need to be a dry-type food that can easily be mixed with other things, but also be separated from the mix. We need all donations on or before October 2. Thanks!!!
Homework Packets
This has been the first year that we (third grade teachers) have not put a reading log on the front of the homework packet. I don't think this is working for our class, so beginning October 6 our packet will have a reading log on the front. The reading log will be where students write down their reading for the week. It will also contain the spelling words for the week and any important dates that are coming up. I think this might work better for us.
