Welcome to third grade!

Welcome to Third Grade! We had a great first week of school. The students have quickly learned our procedures and expectations.

Through our blog, we will be sharing with you photographs, reminders, copies of forms and notices, and writing pieces about our third grade experiences. Please write comments back to us which will keep us motivated to continue working on our blog.

Here are a few reminders:

Homework: Homework is assigned Monday to Thursday. The students will usually have:

• Reading Log- Students must read Accelerated Reader books at his/her reading level. Students should also be doing one or two KidBiz articles at home and pass with a score of 75% or better. Two passing articles a week are required. Students have time in school to do KidBiz articles, but need to do at least one at home each week in order to meet their goal. One KidBiz article a week can replace AR reading.

         I have decided not to use the Reading Log form that went home last week because it is too
        confusing.  In place of that form, students will record their daily reading  in the top section of
        each day's HW planner. Please write the title and pages if it is an AR book or KidBiz title and
        score.

        Students will also record all of their KidBiz scores on a KidBiz Log and AR points earned on
        the AR log.

• Language Arts Homework- Students will get some type of LA homework. It will usually be a spelling assignment, Trophies worksheet, writing assignment or  other reading or writing assignment.

• Math worksheet- Students will bring home a math worksheet to practice the day's lesson or a problem solving or math drill assignment. 

• Other assignments such as Science or Social Studies projects will be assigned, usually with a long term due date.

Class Schedule
PE- Please note that PE is on Tuesdays (except during rotation week.) Please come to school with shoes, shirt and shorts on those days. Don't forget a water bottle, too!

Library- Our library days are on Wednesday (except for rotation week). Please bring your books back to school by Wednesday every week. Books may be re-borrowed  if you are not done reading it. Students will be borrowing 2 AR books and one other book of their choice.

Donations
Mahalo to all of the generous families who have donated items from our Wish List. For those who didn't have a chance to donate and would like to donate something, we could use: microwave popcorn, Clorox wipes, AA batteries, flashlights with batteries. Just a reminder to those who picked up a Wish List post-it at Meet and Greet night, please send in your donations when you have them. Thank you!
