Our 1st week of 3rd grade has been conquered!  The students were amazing as we worked through new procedures, safety measures, and beginning 3rd grade skills.  I am very proud of all of them!

AR point and averages are entered in as a grade weekly.  Each student should earn at least 3  points a week and keep their test average at 85% or higher. By the end of this week (8/14-8/18), students should have 3 A.R. points. Please make sure students are reading each night.

Study Islands- Each week students will be assigned 3 study island assignments. They'll have center time, tech lab time, and free time in the class throughout the week to complete these. Study Island is NOT to be done at home. On Friday, we will take their best grade on the assignment and put it in the gradebook. This week their lessons are: Read and Write Whole Numbers, Sentences, and Plants
