Canned Food Drive:
Congratulations! Our class won a pizza party for donating the most canned food items out of the entire third grade! Thank you for making Christmas a little brighter for struggling families in our community!

Happy Holiday:
I feel especially blessed this year to be working with such a wonderful, positive, and bright group of students. As gift, I have provided every child in our class with a copy of “Ready Freddy: A Very Crazy Christmas.” The message behind the book is: although Christmas can be crazy at times, it’s important to remember Christmas is about love and family. I hope you find time share in the same joy as we do in room 308. Please enjoy your family this Christmas season and we’ll see you in the new year!

WEEK 13

We have started multiplication this week. Please consider purchasing a pack of flashcards. Facts 1-10 MUST me memorized by May. Daily practice at school and at home will help your child reach this goal.

Lumberjack AR Incentives:
Each child has a four week goal for earning a particular amount of Accelerated Reader points. What is AR? AR is a program here at school that encourages students to read books and take an associated comprehension quiz. When students finish reading a book, they may take the quiz that goes with it. Each quiz is worth a certain amount of points. The higher the level of book, the higher amount of points can be earned. The Muskegon Lumberjacks has partnered with our school to encourage students to participate in AR. We will have a Lumberjack come to our school and visit on November 28th! The players are even going to pass out prizes! Our first AR goal period to win a Lumberjack pencil is October 31st-Nov 28th. Any student that reaches their personal goal in that time period will earn the Lumberjack pencil. Personal goals are 7, 5, or 3 points depending on reading level. Please remind your students of this goal!

We would like to tell you about a program, sponsored by the Muskegon Lumberjacks called the Reading Caravan. The Reading Caravan is a partnership program between the Lumberjacks and local classrooms to encourage students to set reading goals, which will be assessed using the Accelerated Reader program. (Where students read books and take quizzes on the computer at school to answer comprehension questions on that book.) On Tuesday, September 27th, our class will be traveling down to the L.C. Walker Arena for a Faceoff Rally. We will be there from 10:30-12:30 p.m. Due to space limitations, parent chaperones will not be able to join us. There will be an on-ice multimedia presentation, a hockey demonstration, and games on the ice. Throughout the season, there will be other components of the program as it unfolds, such as having a Lumberjack visit the classroom to read, tracking Accelerated Reader points, and an invitation to the Education Day Game for those students who meet their goal.

WEEK 2

Scissors: I purchased scissors for our class this year. They are not working out the best. If possible, please send a pair of child size scissors for your child to keep in his/her desk. Thanks!

We have been studying Michigan, maps, place value, short vowel sounds, cursive, and how to write personal narratives!

Reading Homework:
I was very disappointed in the participation of the weekend reading homework that was due on Tuesday. Only 15 out of our 25 students completed the assignment and turned it in on time. I am giving students another chance at this. I will send the same assignment home on Friday. Students that did complete the assignment and turned it in on time will have a free weekend reading homework pass. All others will be expected to complete the assignment and turn it in on Tuesday, September 20th. Every week this assignment is logged in to the grade book. It is very important!
