Today was picture day! It was a fun way to start our day! Everyone looked great and I can’t wait to see the pictures when they get back to us! This morning we read a story called, “Have You Filled A Bucket Today?” Ask your child what it means to fill someone’s bucket or to dip into someone’s bucket! Mrs. Frishman and I will be hanging “buckets” next week for the kids to fill. Ask your child how we are going to do this! It is a fabulous activity that we are going to try all year.

Soon we will be starting our first science unit on Land and Water. In order to do this, our class needs 9 2-liter bottles. The bottles must be clear and they must have a cap.

We had the most amazing second day of school! Your kids are the BEST! We began the day with a language Arts activity. Next, we watched a Back to School Brainpop movie clip and completed some writing and graphic organizer activities which involved the students in creating their own ‘All About Me’ newspaper. Some students may be asking at home tonight for photographs to use on their poster. Next was snack time followed by Math. Third graders received their student reference book for home. Keep this book at home for reference throughout the year. Please be aware that this SRB is an older addition than the math journal and Home Link book. Some of the page numbers are different than the ones mentioned in your math journal and home link book. However, most of the information is still the same and can be found using the table of contents or index.

After lunch, the student had D.E.A.R time and completed their planners. Co curricular classes today were Spanish followed by Swimming.

Please make sure you sign it to show me that you are aware of the homework that was assigned and that it has been completed. There is one homework assignment for tonight!

2. Take Home Folders: Please ask your child to show you his/her blue folder. This should be kept in the zip binder and go back and forth with your child everyday!

3. In addition, there was a lot of other mail that went home today. Please ask your child for it. There is an important flyer for you called “Welcome to the 2009-2010 School Year at BCS!!!”
