Classroom Updates and Announcements

Hello Room 13 families,

We hope you had a great long weekend! Here are the announcements for our first week in September:

Spelling will be a part of homework starting this week. The spelling list for the week will be glued into the homework journals. There is no daily homework to turn in. Third graders are responsible for practicing the words so they are well prepared for the spelling test on Friday, Sept. 5th. Practice ideas have also been glued into the homework journals. If the kids want to practice on Power Spelling, they can log in from home at www.powerspelling.com. Their login information is on their login page in the homework journal.

This week we'll begin vocabulary, but it will be done in class only. Our vocabulary units will begin on Wednesdays and the vocabulary test will be on the following Wednesday. Scored tests will then go home in your child's Panda Folder.

iReady diagnostic testing will continue at the start of this week, with most of the testing expected to be completed by Wednesday.

Thursday is Fall Picture Day! All students will be photographed. Have your child wear something nice and bring their sweet smile!

All third graders need headphones (or earbuds) for class. Please ensure your child has a pair to bring in.

We are looking to refill our classroom treasure box. Any prize donations would be a big help and are much appreciated!

Does your third grader love to perform? Check out the information provided for Acacia STAGE registration.
