Check this out!

Taylee showed off her awesome thinking skills on the assignment below. She used reading strategies to comprehend the text, erased completely when she made an error, wrote neatly, and labeled! By doing all of these things, Taylee has proven she has a deep level of understanding! This is what 3rd grade work should look like!

February Fun!


Brrrr! Winter is back! We have enjoyed a few warmer days at recess, but it is time to get our winter gear back out! Be sure students have hats and/or hoods, gloves, scarves, and coats so they can enjoy outside recess.
       Our Valentines day party is quickly approaching and $1 is being requested to help our volunteers fund our fun! If you can send $1 with your child, we will really appreciate it. Mrs. Parmenter and Mrs. Duncan have some great games planned for our class! Let’s help them out by donating $1. J
       Progress Reports will be sent home on Wednesday. Please sign and return these as soon as you can. Also, be sure you check the green folders for graded work. 3rd quarter is typically the hardest quarter for students. Please go over the skills on each piece of work. Have students redo questions they miss and re-read texts to deepen comprehension.
       The monthly reading requirements have increased by 20 minutes. Please help the kids remember to read an extra 20 minutes each week.

 If you are in the building for lunch, stop by and check out the students awesome work displayed in the hallway! We have their informational animal reports displayed and a poster method problem showing our math thinking. Check out the pictures for a sneak peek!



Here's what we've been up to...
