Well, we have completed our first week at Half Day Third Grade!! We are off to a great start. The students are really getting "into the groove" and for the most part are enjoying being back in school. A little cooler temperatures would be nice, but we are very comfortable here in the school - air conditioning is a real blessing!!
This week we accomplished a lot. We took a whole battery of beginning of the year assessments. While we are not yet done, I am beginning to get an idea of where we need to start in our learning.
In math we also worked on data collection and graphing. In language arts we are working on becoming stronger readers by reading to ourselves for longer and longer periods of time. We got logged in on the computers and began to practice typing skills by using type to learn. We have developed some classroom rules in social studies and this week was our first spelling test. PLEASE remember these lists have to be returned on Wednesday of next week. I will remind (and remind) the students, but it helps if we are all on the same page. Also reading logs went home this week. They will need to be returned on Friday of next week due to no school on Thursday. Happy New Year to those who will be celebrating.
That's about it for room 107 and the first week. We have been busy and from all indications, we are going to have an fun filled, learning filled, terrific year. Please stay tuned.......
