I've already told my class that I think Principal Miller must like me the best out of all the other teachers because she always gives me the absolute best class! We are coming together as a group while learning the routines and procedures. We know that different people learn in different ways and that we need to do our best to help ourselves learn and those around us.
Ask your child about...our current read aloud, Ruby Holler by Sharon Creech, our first spelling test, rocket math with multiplication, our multiplication secrets (sssshhhhh), genres, cardinal directions and intermediate directions, our writing tool books with pages about things that are "close to our hearts" and our "terrible, horrible, no good, very bad list". (That is just a short list of things we have accomplished this week)
Parent Orientation Night is Tuesday, August 28 starting at 6:30 pm. This will be very informal. I'll do some talking but I really want this to be a time for you to ask any burning question you have. (If you are wondering it, someone else probably is too.) We will also discuss our third grade field trip. This has typically been in the fall for third grade and we travel to the Frontier Theater in Marshfield, MO. It is an exciting, exhausting, hands-on learning experience for the kiddos but it is a little pricey. I'll have more details on Tuesday night.
I've uploaded a few photos into our gallery on this site. Yet again, I intended to have more pictures to share and they will come, I promise, but for now there are a few with the kiddos making their writing tool books. Our tool books will be full of lessons, tricks, tips, ideas, special words, all the things needed to be a great writer. Just like a carpenter uses a tool box, we will use our tool book to help us create great works of writing. I want to thank Mrs. Basham for tabbing and labeling our tool books to make them super organized. THANK YOU!
In the near future we will... build our reading "stamina", understand place value and greater number, compare and order numbers, read and understand a variety of maps, locate and label the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers, locate and label the 8 states that touch Missouri, make a list of types of writing we can create during our independent writing time, and listen to many many more books.
