What an awesome first day!!  I think we will have a great year.  A couple of items worth mentioning:

  1. Homework-Homework might go home next week, the earliest, or the following week, the lastest.  We will practice first in school before I send home the homework.
  2. Snack-We were so busy today that I forgot snack.  I think everyone else did also, until the end of the day.  We need to talk about snack time tomorrow.
  3. AR point goal-The students took a computer reading assessment today.  I hope to have their AR point goal by the end of the week.  We will start taking AR quizzes this Friday on the story we are reading in the classroom.
  4. Classroom website-If there is anything wrong or not working, please email me so I can fix it.  Sometime I forget to adjust a few things.

Thanks for encouraging your child to do their best each day!

We had an awesome day for today's field trip to St. John's Arboretum.  The Arboretum Staff did a fantastic job working with the students to understand a little bit more about habitats in this area.  The students walked through three different habitats and participated in activities in each of the habitats.  The students really enjoyed each of the activities.

Mon, 11 Apr 2011 11:00:00 -0700 River Bats Reading Program Promotion http://wolfatpaes.posterous.com/river-bats-reading-program-promotion http://wolfatpaes.posterous.com/river-bats-reading-program-promotion

A River Bats Reading letter was sent home today explaining their reading program promotion.  The only thing that the letter doesn't explain is the reading minutes goal.  The thrid grade sent 105 minutes a week as the goal.  That comes to about 15 minutes a day.  The students can read the 105 minutes in one night, or they can spread it out over the week.  I uploaded the River Bats letter and reading logs onto this announcement.  Hopefully, I uploaded the documents correctly.  If the document doesn't download, please let me know.

I am going out on a limb and say that the students do not need to bring their boots or snowpants.  If it snows, then the students need to bring their snowpants and boots.  They still need to weat their coats, hats and mittens/gloves to school.

 

Remember that there is a spelling test tomorrow.
