| Crew Learning Expedition: We are using this time to do some team-building to prepare for our voyage. Today we did a "quilt" activity that helped us think about what we have in common and how we are unique. HINTS AT HOME: What have you learned about you new crew-mates? | Writing/Language Workshop: In writing, we have launched our writing workshop. Students brainstormed "seed ideas" things to write about and began drafting writing. In language workshop, we are starting a study of short fiction stories using the mentor author Robert Munsch. HINTS AT HOME: What are some things that you look forward to writing about? (Help brainstorm topics at home) |
| Math: Our math unit began with a review of patterns and sequences. HINTS AT HOME: What number patterns do you notice or use in everyday life? | Reading Workshop: We have been discussing how readers choose books and how "reading is thinking." HINTS AT HOME: Set a routine for 3rd graders to be reading every night. |
Photo Permission: In Thursday folders today is a form asking for your permission for me to post pictures of students to show what we are doing in the classroom. Please fill this out, and return tomorrow.
Peanut Allergy: Due to severe peanut allergies, I have asked that students do not have afternoon snacks that include peanuts. Also, please do not bring birthday treats with peanuts. Thanks!
Meds on Voyages: If your child has medications to take on the voyage, do not forget to fill out paperwork and bring these into the office the week prior to our voyage.
Crew Parent: A big thank you to Marianne Peirce who is our crew parent this year! She will be recruiting help when I need it, creating the crew directory, emailing important information, and much more. Thanks!
Picture Day: Next Friday 8/12.
Back to School Picnic: Join us for a picnic Friday, August 12 from 4:30-7. Tickets are $5 per person (adult or child). See you there!
