 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!!

 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 ...

Hopefully, everyone had a chance to rest at home today..... a time to recharge. We are getting closer to the end of the 3rd nine weeks, which will be on March 31st. Some important reminders, please make sure your child has a set of headphones, a water bottle or bottles (disposable seems to work better), and a blanket for sitting on when we have lunch outside. They really enjoy being able to sit outside and enjoy their lunch. Last but not not least, they will take Spring pictures on this Thursday (March 18th). If you would like to send clothes for them to change into after they take their picture, that is definitely fine.  Please enjoy the pictures below the agenda from our morning Book Clubs!! ___________________________________________________________________________________ COMMUNITY NEWS Important Upcoming Dates   Friday, March 12: Student Holiday/Teacher Workday Monday, March 22: Phase 3 Learning Model Begins Thursday, March 25-Friday, March 26: Asynchronous eLearning Days...

Time's winding down really quick for us this year!! We are now going into the second week of March. I have really enjoyed watching the kids in their book clubs. They have worked hard, are collaborating with each other, and getting prepared for their next book club. Below are some pictures from our book club and some of the posters the kids made to represent their book club. I want to congratulate Ethan and Michael for their Reading Counts points and awards. I would love for everyone to strive to receive these prizes but I do not force the kids to test. I know we are all  reading and working hard. Look below for the awesome pictures of  Ethan and Michael with Mrs. Medlock and Mrs. Bush. Congratulations guys!! This week, we will continue studying author's purpose in reading, text dependent analysis writing, fractions in math, and culture in social studies. The vocabulary they have for fractions will be tested on this coming Friday. Quick checks and assessments have been denoted ...

 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 ...

We have finished another week. Ya'll we are in the 3rd nine weeks. We are over halfway through this year!! Woohoo!! These kids have been working hard and we have spent many days inside due to rain. Let's hope that next week the sun will come out and shine!! Go ahead and pencil these dates in for next month: March 12th is a student holiday, March 18th is Spring Picture Day, and March 31st is the end of the 3rd nine weeks . When I say time is flying, TIME IS FLYING!!!! This week we began Chapter 9 in math (multiplying by 10), worked on point of view and began compare/contrast in reading, and worked on the different types of soil. Next week, we will be finishing Chapter 9 and circling back to place value, finishing up comparing/contrasting and beginning author's purpose in reading, as well as finishing soil and taking the assessment. Here's the agenda for the week. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Community News   Talent ...
