Scholastic Book Ordering

Hello, Parents,
We had a great first week and I think we're really ready to dive into our 3rd grade curriculum. As I mentioned before, homework for this week was light. It will be more substantial starting next week, though it should not take more than about an hour.
Reading will continue to be a regular assignment for homework. I do have a nice-sized library in our class, but we also  participate with Scholastic Book Clubs, where students can find reasonably priced books to really get excited about. This month we have a fantastic set of book catalogs to order from, which students took home today. Orders are due next Friday, August 17.
Scholastic really likes parents to order online, so this year they are offering a certificate for a free book for students whose parents order online. Books are delivered directly to our classroom with the regular order. You can set up online ordering at:
                                  https://orders.scholastic.com/GK4VC
Our class code is GK4VC.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Homework and first week update

I am very pleased that most students are practicing our procedures very well. Good job all!
The heat is wearing on all of us and is predicted to continue for some time.  In order to head off any heat related problems, we are:
  • Having recess inside in the airconditioning (in the gym when possible) and
  • Transportation is providing cold (or frozen) water for bus riders, to help them stay cool and hydrated on the bus
Please remember to send water or a water bottle to school with your student. They may have water in class at their desks (though not any colored liquid product like gatorade or koolaid). Thank you!

Homework for tonight is again light. (Next week is when the homework will really start.) Thanks to all you parents who are being diligent to sign your student's homework sheet!

Homework:
  • Read for 15 minutes
That's all!

Wednesday, August 8, 2012

Homework 8/8/12

Another great day, getting into the groove. Again not much homework tonight. (It will be another story next week! :)
Parents, please be sure to let me know when there is a change in the usual transportation arrangements for after school. I do want to make sure that all students get where they are supposed to go!

Homework tonight:
  • Reading: read for 15 minutes
That's all!

Tuesday, August 7, 2012

First day update and homework

Our class is off to an outstanding start! I was pleased that everyone was able to make it on the first day. We got a lot of organization done, and had enough time to check out books so that everyone can do their homework tonight!

Homework:
  • Reading:  Read for 15 minutes
That's all!

Some reminders for tomorrow, though:
  1. Tomorrow is early release (12:15 pm)
  2. As always, it is "$1 for Duds" day-- students may pay a dollar and "dress down" (in appropriate regular clothes rather than the uniform). Students who do not pay $1 simply wear the regular uniform.This is actually a fund-raiser to help pay for extras for our classroom.
  3. Lunch will not be served during school time. Students who stay for aftercare will be able to get lunch.
  4. We will have a morning recess, so send a snack with your student for recess time, especially if they will not be staying for lunch.
  5. Please remember to review and sign your student's homework folder tonight. I will check them in the morning. 
Thanks!

End of School Reminders

These are the reminders that were included in our newsletter for this week. Because I know that the newsletter sometimes does not actually get home, [ : ) ] I am reprinting it here.

1. For this week, all lunches purchased from the cafeteria need to be paid for in advance.
2. All textbooks and library books need to be returned before Friday, May 25. (There will be a charge for lost textbooks.)
3. Wednesday is an early release day, as usual. We will be watching the staff/student sports events outside, so students need to bring hats and sunscreen.
4. Thursday, May 24 is an event-filled day!
a. The School-wide Awards Ceremony, honoring students who have been consistent achievers every quarter, begins at 9:00 am in the South Gym. Parents are encouraged to attend.

b. At 1:00 pm, the Third Grade will hold an awards ceremony to honor students who are high achievers for the 4th quarter, though they may not have received awards in every other quarter. This assembly will be held in the North Gym and again, parents are encouraged to attend.

c. Right after the Third Grade Awards Ceremony, our class will head back to our classroom to have our End-of-the-Year Party. I am asking students to bring snacks to share and to be ready to celebrate. Parents are welcome, too!

5. Friday, May 25 is the last day of school. We will clean up the classroom and probably watch a movie. It is an early release day (12:15 pm) WITH NO AFTERCARE AVAILABLE. Report cards will be issued at dismissal time.
