MARKET DAY Pick-up
A big THANK YOU
for all the lovely gifts and all the well wishes
received from all of you.
I feel truly blessed by having all of you as
parents this year.
Your generosity is a real blessing.
I pray that you and your families will have a
Healthy and Blessed New Year.
Our Christmas Party
was a real success, thanks to the parents who so
generously sent in items for our party.
AR - Our NEW GOAL
for the new Grading Period is
6 POINTS.
Every student is also required to read 1
non-fiction book and pass the test.
The non-fiction book will be included in the
total of the 6 points.
I suggest that they read their non-fiction book
EARLY, since those tests seem to be a little harder than the fiction book
tests.
In case they do not pass their first test, they have
sufficient time to read another non-fiction book and take another test.
We have some “new” AR books to choose from,
since we traded collections with the other 3rd grade classes
after Thanksgiving.
The students will again receive a FREE pizza
certificate from Pizza Hut when they reach the 6 point goal.
In case you have any “old” pizza certificates at
your house, they are good for 1 month from the date that is on them.
SPELLING -
This week begins the new procedure for tests - Our
tests will be on WEDNESDAY and FRIDAY
each week.
I would like to see our Spelling grades improve!
They will be given the new words like before,
and the YELLOW/GOLD SHEET with all the Review Words will be sent home on
Monday.
If you receive 100% on the Wednesday test, you do not
have to take the Friday test.
If you do not receive 100% on the Wednesday
test, then you have to take the Friday test.
Words that are missed on Wednesday will have to
be written 10 TIMES EACH, and words that are missed on Friday will have to
be written 20 TIMES EACH.
There will also be a sentence on the tests.
In order to get the sentence correct, the
students need to spell every word in the sentence correct and have all the
correct punctuation - including capital letters and punctuation at the end.
The sentence needs to be perfect in order to get
it correct.
If there is only 1 mistake in it, it is counted
wrong.
“ABOUT ME”
Worksheet - This will be sent home on Wednesday as a
Handwriting Assignment.
Each student is to know their address, including
their city, state, and zip code, and their phone number, including the area
code.
I have found that many students do not know all of this
important information. Does your child know all of this information without
your help?
They may be asking you for this to complete their
assignment. It would be a GREAT
IDEA for you to make sure they know all of this
information.
May you have a safe and enjoyable week!
