Hello Room 208 Families!
I hope you all are enjoying the beautiful weather today! We had a busy week this past week in 208. Students were busy reading our back to school novel, "A Boy Called Bat", writing paragraphs, practicing addition and subtraction facts, and also exploring social scientists. This next week will be just as busy!
Make sure to check out the Crews News to see what we will be doing!

Pictures Needed: Please send your child to school with a picture of themselves participating in an activity that can be used to generate ideas for a personal narrative.

Spelling will start this week! Students will have a pretest on Monday and a posttest on Friday. The words this week are: apple, attic, battle, candle, classic, fabric, glasses, handle, paddle, plastic, saddle, sample, taxes, traffic, vanish

I look forward to seeing you this Thursday evening at 6pm to share more about the 3rd grade curriculum and expectations.

Have a great rest of your weekend!

Happy first week of school Room 208 Families!

It was great to meet so many of you at the Meet and Greet last Thursday. I was so excited to hear about the avid readers and motivated students that will be in our class this year. If you were unable to stop by, no worries, I will send home the handouts with your child on Tuesday.

This week we will be doing many activities that will not only build a strong community in our classroom, but also build trust and respect for one another. We will not have official homework this week, but students will begin to practice writing in their student agendas. Please check out the Homework and Crews News tabs above to learn more about this week's happenings in our classroom.

Enjoy the long weekend, and I will see you all by the Room 208 cone near the turf on Tuesday, September 3rd!
