I hope all of our families have had a good weekend of rest after the crazy amount of rain last week. Thank you for supporting our book fair! We should be back on our regular Friday library rotation this week.
Spelling Bee: Third, fourth, and fifth graders are invited to participate in our school spelling bee tryouts. Information will be coming soon with words to study. The first round will be within the homeroom classes. There will be two grade level champion spellers and two spellers from each homeroom chosen to participate in the school spelling bee that will take place in November.
Want to start studying? Click HERE to go to our webpage of study lists! Third grade will start with the Level One words.
Speaking of spelling-- our first spelling test for the school year was put on rain delay, so we'll be taking that test on Monday, September 23rd. Students will need to be able to spell the words correctly AND be able to write them in the write pattern column. There will also be two sentences that students will need to write. Spelling words will need to be spelled correctly and they will also need to use appropriate capitalization and punctuation.
Parent conferences will be held in October. An email will be sent the first week of October with a link to SignUp Genius. Mrs. Wolf and Mrs. Mallette will be meeting with parents together, so you only need to sign up for one meeting time.

Introducing....Third Grade 2019-2020!
Welcome to my classroom blog, where I hope you find helpful information! Above this post you'll see tabs for different "pages" that will have helpful information. I update the agenda page weekly, and the spelling information as needed. Usually our spelling lists are for two weeks, and there will be a place where you can click to see what activities children can do with their spelling words for the month. Since I will be teaching your children language arts, as well as math and science this year, more tabs may show up along the top for other information.
At the bottom is a symbaloo, which is simply a way for me to put websites together for the students to access easily. For example, one box is for Spelling City. When we have spelling words, I will update my Spelling City account and students can click there to go directly to the list we are using rather than going to Spellingcity.com and having to look for my list or typing in the words themselves. I will be adding math and science links to the symbaloo as I find appropriate sites for students to use to enhance their learning.
Coming soon! Curriculum night! (Or it might be called Open House?) This is where parents and guardians are invited to the school to hear about expectations for third grade. The third grade teachers will tell you a bit about what units we cover in the different subjects, we'll fill you in on the behavior chart, and other things that we do in third grade. After we meet together as a grade level, we'll invite you back up to the classrooms where you can see what your child has been doing for the first few weeks of school. This will be held the week of September 9th. More details when I get them!
If you would like to fill out my online form for student information, the link to complete it is:

It works best on a Google browser! If you use a different web browser, the formatting is a bit wonky.
Some parents have asked me about donations for the classroom. I am putting together a wishlist on Amazon, and I will share that soon.
I am looking forward to a great year with your children-- we had a great first two days!

Welcome to the 2018-2019 School Year!
Welcome to the third grade!
Thank you so much for the wonderful Meet the Teacher time. It's a little overwhelming to meet so many new people in such a short time, but I enjoyed visiting with everyone that came! It was good to see some familiar faces, and I look forward to getting to know the new friends better. The student information form on the iPad seemed to be a great way to gather some of that important information that I need as your child's teacher. Please let me know if you had any difficulties with completing it. The teachers are all excited about not having to read some of the handwriting for email addresses!
This blog is for parents as well as the students. Every week you will find the agenda (see the tab above that says "agenda"? This will have all of the homework for the week listed out. Students will also be copying this into their agenda notebooks, which SHOULD be in their binders! There is another tab for spelling, where I will update that each time we have a new list.
If you scroll down to the bottom of this screen (wait, don't do it yet, keep reading!), you will find a bunch of boxes. This is a symbaloo, which is a website I use to organize internet links. For example, on the top left side, you'll see links that have to do with reading. If you find that a link is not working, please send me an email or a note letting me know so that I can fix it. These are all pretty nice places for my students to use, either for school or for fun. The box that has an eagle on it will take you to another symbaloo that has links all dedicated to Social Studies items. You will also find a link to Spelling City (I update that with our spelling words too!), and a link to our Social Studies curriculum. (I will fill the students in on that info soon. They will each have their own login for that site).
