The students were excited to begin their work around people who have made a difference.  We watched a video that inspired us to help others.  Students are in groups of 4 researching to find out about a person that has made a difference.  Ask your child who they are exploring.  Students are encouraged to look up more information tonight, if they have time, to share with their group tomorrow.  We are finding out how old the person is when they started to make a difference, what they saw as a problem and what they did about it.

The grade 3 students started their digital LA SLA's this morning and then worked on the written math SLA this afternoon.  We will continue these for the rest of this week and then into next week.

We are working on our good copy of our fall writing and a few students are required to finish the rough copy for homework tonight. If your child has their red journal in their folder, they have homework that is due back to school tomorrow. 

All students now have their Raz-kids log-in information taped in their folder.  We are asking all students to do Raz-kids at least 1-2 times per week.  This is a great website for practicing fluency and comprehension.  Students are encouraged to record their reading and then listen to it to help develop fluency.  Students are also expected tho answer the comprehension questions that follow a reading.

All September book orders have now been delivered to children that ordered them. Ms. Rauser's class now have their October book order forms in their folders. Mrs. Cooper's class will have them within the next couple days. Book orders are due back to school on:
