Week of March 1st

 Well, another week down in the books. Woohoo!! We got this!  We worked really hard this week, raised money for American Heart Association, and ended Black History Month (check out our awesome Black History poster and everyone had a hand in coloring a piece of it, some more than others).

This month we will focus on Women's History Month, making the women from "Hidden Figures" part of our study. We reached our halfway point for the 3rd nine weeks. This is around the time 3rd grade starts becoming harder so please make sure your child is reading 20 minutes daily and completing any math homework. We discussed our winter MAP scores, spring MAP goals, and our what we needed to do in order to reach our goals. We have been discussing it more, because we have  MAP testing coming up very soon. Please discuss these goals at home with your child as well, so they can tell you what they need to do to reach those goals. 

Also, yes, we will have a yearbook this year, Yearbooks are available for pre-purchase for a limited time. The cost is $35.00 and can be paid on your Parent Portal account.

Thank you again for your support!! I look forward to seeing everyone bright and early ready to learn!!

Book Fair Challenge Winning School

We would like to thank everyone for supporting our Scholastic Book Fair! Although our fair was virtual, we hope that students were able to select some of their favorite titles. We would also like to thank our parents who donated books to their child's classroom. Now, let's roll that beautiful Book Fair Challenge footage....

 Well, we made it through another week!! We have a few more to go and Spring Break will be here before we realize it. We began the week with finishing up our book clubs and are finishing the week with our "College Day". You will see pics from both below. We were out Thursday and I'm glad the district thought of our safety first. Another good thing was we do not have to make up a day for being out, thanks to the virtual world. This week, we will have 2 asynchronous days, in which the students will stay home but log on to our Google Classroom and go through the Pathway to complete assignments. The 2 days are this Thursday and Friday, March 25th and March 26th. No new learning will occur on those days, but students will still be responsible for completing and turning in assignments to be graded. Students will log on at 9 and will be working virtually from home on both days on material that we have already covered. My office hours both days will be from 9-11 AM in case there

 Well, here's to another long weekend!!! I hope their asynchronous day went smoothly. I was in the Google Classroom during my office hours and a few of them reached out to me. Remember, Monday, March 29th, is the new Spring picture day. Students can bring a change of clothes so they can feel comfortable after taking their picture. Also, remember we are out Friday, April 1st in observance of Good Friday! Y'all, I can't believe Spring Break is already here. We will be out from April 1st-April 9th. We will return on April 12th. MAP testing will happen the following week. Are you ready for the countdown to summer?!  Have a great weekend and I can't wait to see their bright faces on Monday!!

Thank you for all of my awesome teacher appreciation gifts!! I even was treated to San Jose this week. I received a lot of my favorite snacks (popcorn, Werther's, and mini Chips Ahoy) as well as some gift cards to my favorite restaurants and stores. Thank you so much for everything!! Thank you for being so supportive as well. We are all one community and I wouldn't be able to do it without your support!! I hope what the kids take with them is always give their best, believe they can accomplish anything they desire!! Thanks for sharing your babies with me! Unfortunately, I didn't have the opportunity to see them today (though every week is Teacher Appreciation Week) because I had an emergency come up, but I will be back on Monday.  With testing coming up next week (the week of the 17th), we are going to be spending the next week just focusing on math and reading. So, no new notes in science and social studies until after the 19th. We are focusing on geometry, measurement, an
