Science Lessons

We have been learning about food chains and food webs. We created multiple food chains with our working groups and then connected them to show a food web.

Saturday Live a smashing success!

Happy Birthday

Birthday greetings to Brooks and Aliyah!

Open House

Thank you for attending Open House. I hope you got a glimpse of what we do in our third grade classroom. I am still looking for Mystery Readers. I have the first week filled, but no others in October. Can you spare 15 minutes of your day to read to us? Please e-mail if you would be interested.

Ice Cream Social a Success!

It was good to see many of you at the Ice Cream Social! We will see you at the Open House on Thursday at 6:00. Don't forget to bring your items for the SWEET TREATS Saturday Live basket. We finished our Reading and Language NWEA testing this week so we are off to a fresh start this coming week with our curriculum. I will have the August/September birthday lunch this Friday with your kids. Home/School folders (RACING Manuals) came home Thursday. Please help your child to remember to bring them to school daily.

Weekly News

Thank you to Carsen's mom for volunteering to put our Saturday Live basket together. It is a CANDY theme the student's chose this year. Please send your donated sweet treats as soon as you can to fill the basket and earn money for Arrowhead School.

There was a SCHOLASTIC glitch with our username and password for online book orders. Please note that is has been changed to j3arrowhead with password still the same. Scholastic has added a new piece this year to online ordering. For every order you send online, our classroom will receive a FREE book! What a great way to ensure we have fresh, new exciting materials in our library for AR reading!

The students thought Math was hard this week! We are learning place value up to the 100,000nds place. Students must be able to read, write, and expand the numbers up to this place. Any practice at home would benefit your child.

We will do our beginning of the year NWEA testing this next week. Our times slots are Monday and Friday morning.

Fall is on the way!

Short Week

With this being a short week I just wanted to remind students and parents about bringing library books in that are overdue. We have been missing a few Tuesday folders and Spelling notebooks as well. Reminder: book orders due this Friday 9/11. Do we have any volunteers to coordinate our classroom basket for Saturday Live? Drop me a note if you have a great idea or feel especially creative!

First Few Days

We are off to a fabulous start of the year. What a great group of kids we have in our class! Many have asked about volunteering. I will be forming volunteer positions soon. Please be thinking about an area that would work for you.

The students can have water bottles and bring healthy snacks every day. We will try to remember to bring our water bottles home on Friday for a good washing :)

Thank you for getting all the signed forms back to school so quickly. Spelling notebooks and collaged composition books are due on Friday.

Happy Birthday to Nyah and Christy!

Welcome to my blog site for third grade parents at Arrowhead! It is my hope that this site will keep you frequently updated on our happenings in the classroom.
