WEEK 3
MEAP, MEAP! 3rd grade will be tested in reading and math starting Oct 11th.
Homecoming is tonight! Go OV!
*Parent-Teacher Conferences are Oct 4th-6th

A suggestion for what to do with the reading booklets that go home on Friday: save them in a shoebox. At the end of the school year, your child will have an entire library of on-level reading books for summer reading!
Homework Schedule:
Friday: RAH,Reading,and Spelling words go home.
Tuesday: Reading is due. Math goes home.
Wednesday: Math is due.
Friday: RAH is due and spelling test.
Popcorn Fridays! 25 cents per bag
Lumberjack Caravan:
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.

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.
