I remember....

Yesterday, Ms. Grant and Ms. Draughn focused their lessons on the tragic events that occurred on September 11, 2001.  It's hard to believe it happened 10 years ago. Our third graders weren't even born! I remember exactly where I was standing when I received an urgent phone call from a friend to "turn on the tv". I'm sure you have vivid memories as well.  I am so incredibly thankful to live in this wonderful country, the United States of America!


Classroom news......
We have moved our recess time, and the kids are thrilled!! Our original recess time was at 2:30, and by that time of day, it is HOT! We have now changed our time to 12:35, right after lunch. It is working out beautifully, and the kids are loving the time outside!

In Math, we will be concentrating on rounding and estimation.  On my website, I have lots of links to interactive games and websites that your child can play at home and practice.  Also, we took an assessment on Friday, and students will be bringing that home in their Thursday folder.

In Science, we are continuing with our study on Matter. We will be measuring mass, determining what will sink or float, and sorting matter objects. There are also Science games on the website as well.

Parent Portal:  I am inputting grades often, but we are still having issues with Parent Portal. Hopefully, it will be up and running on Monday.


CALENDAR:
Tuesday, 9/13:  Curriculum Night - 6:30-7:30


Have a wonderful weekend!
