Hello 2nd Quarter!

Wow! Can you believe that our first nine weeks of third grade is over? I know I sure am amazed! The start of the second quarter is bringing about some changes; gone are the days of second grade silliness, it's time to get down to business! We still have plenty of fun with learning, but we are working very hard on making sure that we are focused and on task with our activities.

Please remember, homework is NOT an option. Throughout the last nine weeks, many students did not turn in their homework regularly. Homework is an important and useful tool to help practice and review what we work on in class. Remember to turn in your homework when it is due!

Check back soon to see our class "quilts" we are constructing to go with our weekly reading selection- The Keeping Quilt by Patricia Polacco!

Week of October 20

This week is a short week for the students- they have NO SCHOOL on Friday. There are no spelling words this week, so make sure to focus on getting your books read!

Let's have a great week and have a wonderful long weekend!

October 13-October 17

This is going to be one exciting week! Friday, the 17th, marks the end of the first nine weeks- can you believe it? Also, this week is very exciting for me because I will get to find out if Baby Batycki is a boy or a girl. I don't know who is more excited about that- me or the students!

Please continue your nightly reading; we are expected to have 8 chapter books completed by this Friday! Also, remember to complete your homework each night!

Let's have a great week!

Week of October 6

Wow! I am so sorry that I didn't update the blog last week. Fortunately, our spelling words and homework have all been updated for this week!

Remember to keep working hard and reading! The end of the first quarter is coming up quick!
