Week of January 4th-7th

Hello Room 154 Families!  I hope you enjoyed the winter break and are staying warm this week! Here is our weekly update--as always, please reach out with any questions/concerns:   Curriculum Update: * Math- We are working on solving one and two-step word problems.   * Reading- During our Mystery Unit, we have been learning different strategies that help us read mysteries. Can these same strategies be applied to any fiction book? Yes they can! This week we read other fiction non-mystery books and applied our mystery strategies to these books.  * Writing- In our Persuasive Writing Unit, we talked about the importance of stating our opinion (our thesis) and backing that opinion with reasons that are supported by evidence. If our reasons and evidence are strong enough, we might convince someone to come around to our way of thinking! This week, students took their thesis, reasons, and evidence and turned it into a 5 paragraph essay.   * Social Science- We are continuing our Social Justi

i-Ready Testing: This coming week we will be taking both our i-Ready reading and math tests. Please make sure your child gets a good night's sleep the night before and a good breakfast the morning of a test taking day (breakfast is free for all students who choose to take it in the morning at school). Also, please send in headphones if you have not done so yet as these are an important tool for the test.  Bucky Books: Bucky Books were sent home with each child last week.

A Few Reminders Before The First Day

Hello! It was wonderful to meet so many of you at Great Start Conferences. Thank you for making the time to do so. I hope that you and your student enjoyed checking out our classroom and the rest of the school. I can't believe we are ready for another school year! Summer went by quickly but I am excited to fill our classroom with ready to learn and grow third graders. School starts on Wednesday. The front doors will be open at 7:30am .  Students should be to their classroom by 7:40 am. They are welcome to get free breakfast on their way to our room. Here are a few other reminders as we start our school year: First Day of School Videos Mrs. Naramore, another 3rd grade teacher, created these 2 short videos for all 3rd graders to watch before the first day of school, so that they can see how to get to all of the 3rd grade classrooms. Please watch one of these videos with your child before Wednesday to help them feel more comfortable about coming in to school and finding their way. Dr

 Hello and welcome to Room 154! I am so excited for the school year and looking forward to getting to know each and everyone of you! This blog will be used for class updates, schedules, and reminders so check back often. I encourage families to communicate with me during the school year in which ever way they feel most comfortable: phone calls, emails, or face to face. I believe that open communication will set us all up for a successful school year.  I truly feel so lucky to be your child's teacher and cannot wait to watch them grow and accomplish many things! Here is to a great 2021-2022 school year!
