Happy Sunday! I hope you all were able to enjoy the extra hour today. This week starts the beginning of the 2nd quarter. Now that procedures and routines are in place, things will begin to vamp up a little bit. Please continue to encourage your child to complete and turn in all homework and classwork. As you can probably guess, November will be a quick month, with a few more days off than normal! Don't forget to sign up for a ten minute conference on the 14th.

Have a great week!

Happy Saturday!
It is crazy to think that we are near the end of October and the 1st quarter! It sure has flown by. I am so proud of the dedication and hard work that your students are already displaying in 3rd grade. This Wednesday is Halloween, in case you didn't know =). Students may dress up if they'd like to. Please remind your students that they do have dance in the morning, and need to be able to participate regardless of wearing a Halloween costume. Masks are okay to bring for the Halloween party, but no weapons are allowed. Also, a quick reminder that there is no school on Friday, November 2nd and Report Card Pick Up Day is on Wednesday, November 14th. I will be setting up the link to sign up for conferences this week, and will e-mail it out to the class. Don't forget to check out this week's Crews News for more information on the happenings of our classroom.

Have a great rest of your weekend!

Hello Everyone!
It was great to see so many of you at our open house this past week. I know I shared a lot of information with you, so if you have any questions or concerns please let me know. If you were unable to attend, please let me know if you'd like a copy of the powerpoint presentation sent home.

Announcements:
* Still looking for at least one more room rep to help out our class this year. All you will have to do is help gather parents to chaperone field trips and assist at three classroom celebrations. Besides securing volunteers, room reps will need to plan activities for the classroom celebrations and bring in healthy snacks for them as well. I promise it is NOT a big or difficult job!
* Picture day is Tuesday, September 25th - we will be taking pictures in the morning.
* MAP Testing Thursday and Friday this week at 8:30AM. Please be to school on time!
* Register your child for this year's pride stride. If you register them online, they will receive a water bottle!

Have a great week!

Happy Sunday Everyone!

I hope you all had a great weekend and stayed warm during this crazy Chicago weather. This week we will be getting into more of our curriculum, and math homework will start. We will also begin our spelling instruction. Students will have 20 words, two of which are challenge words. I will be adding the list of words to Spelling City tomorrow. Please make sure to check out this week's Crews News to see what we will be doing in more detail.
Some announcements for the week:
* Continue to turn in any missing back to school forms
* Send in any missing supplies for your student- especially notebooks if they did not order supplies from Yubbler
* Consider volunteering to be a Room Rep. - I promise it will be easy peasy!
