Today we celebrated the sunny day with donuts from Mrs. Butzin! She loves the warm weather! In concert with our reading selection, Maria Isabel, we wrote about our “Greatest Wish” this morning. The kids “wrote from the heart” as Maria Isabel did in the story and students had an opportunity to with each other in the afternoon. During third grade math we practiced telling time and determining elapsed time. Everyone had their own toolkit clock to use when calculating the time. Afterwards, in science, we designed a straw oboe, straw bassoon and straw reed trombone. Students formed bands with their classmates, and we enjoyed a Battle of the Bands! Our day ended with Spanish….what a fantastic day! Thanks for being so great!
Goal setting packet- The goal setting packets went home with students last Thursday. Please look over it with your child to help them decide on a couple of goals for this year. The packet is due back on Tuesday, September 30th.
If you have not yet signed up for a conference, please do so as soon as possible! Remember, this is a conference where you will bring your child with you!
Sign up for a Goal Setting Conference outside of my doorway on green paper. Child and parent attend this meeting together.
Summer Projects and packets are due on September 29th. If your child’s project is large, please keep it at home until that date! Unfortunately our classroom is small and we don’t have a lot of room to store the projects. Thank you!
