Update: Week of March 11

Parents,
I look forward to seeing you during Parent/Teacher Conferences this week! Our third graders have made great progress and it is exciting for me to share that with you!

I am sending report cards home today. Your third grader can be very proud of all their hard work! If your child is discouraged that they did not receive ALL 3s on their report card, please remind them of their GROWTH MINDSET. We have worked hard on using a growth mindset as we work on learning and make progress toward our goals. The standards you see on the report card show progress being made and they will continue to be assessed. Remind your third grader that learning takes hard work and practice. I am very proud of our class!

BOOK FAIR:
Our class will preview the book fair on Monday. If your child chooses to make a purchase, please send the money in an envelope labeled with your child’s name by Wednesday. Thanks!

March is Reading Month- FUN FRIDAY:
Our class is celebrating Reading Month with some activities on Fridays. This Friday, we are wearing our words! Choose a shirt with words so others can read it!

MobyMax math fact practice: Please remind your third grader to get on MobyMax to practice math facts. This will help build their fact fluency progress.

 

The Last Day

Parents,

Thank you for all the ways you have shown your support, encouragement, and help this year. Thank you for helping your child be a successful third grader.

I want to say a special thanks to all the volunteers- field trips, party helpers, party donations, help with reading fluency, help with math facts, and so many more ways you have helped! YOU are appreciated and are an important part of our school. Thank you!

Report cards will be mailed out on June 12.
Specials (art, music, p.e.) report cards will be sent home today. Please look for that in your child’s folder.

Here are a few ideas to help our students practice over the summer:

– check out books at open library every Tuesday (see post below)
– work on MobyMax
– journal writing
– use the games linked to our classroom blog

Happy Summer!!

Report Card Information!

We were just informed by our Technology Department that the software responsible for our report card data base has crashed. The system will be down this weekend and likely into next week.  I want the most up to date marks on the report cards, and therefore, I typically use this weekend to finalize scores and add comments for each student. 

Due to the data base crash, I cannot access report cards this weekend—and will not be able to share the report card with you during conferences this coming week. 
Once the Powerschool software is repaired, report cards will be completed and sent home.  During conferences, I will be highlighting strengths and areas for growth and sharing work samples.
Thank you for understanding this technical difficult at a most unfortunate crunch time!
