We have our Back to School Night this Tuesday, September 11th at 7:00 in our classroom, right after the PTA meeting. This is a time for you, as parents, to see and hear many of the things your third grader will be doing throughout the year. I'm sure you have some questions for me as well. There will be lots of information shared so we will begin promptly at 7:00. Thank you for setting up childcare arrangements for this evening.
See you Tuesday,
Mrs. McDonald

FROM THE COUNSELOR
Character Word of September: WELCOMING
BOX TOPS
It's that time of year again. The annual BOX TOP competition has began. Please send in box tops to help our school. The top classes get a prize.
PEACH JAR
In an attempt to save paper, many Tuesday folder papers are now being sent electronically. If you have not subscribed to Peach Jar, please do so as soon as possible through this link. Without a subscription, you may miss something important! There are a lot of after school enrichment programs being offered!
HOMEWORK
Planners are completed daily. Please check and initial your child’s planner nightly.
Students are required to read for a minimum of 20 minutes per night and record a quick response on their reading logs. Signed logs are DUE every Wednesday. Book Bucks are earned with every 100 minutes read. Students can “purchase” books from our “Book Buck Libraries” with 10 book bucks.
Nightly reading is crucial to your child's overall reading success. Reading should be an interactive process, so please remember to initial or sign your child's log before turning it in on Wednesday.
Students should practice math skills 10 minutes nightly. This could be anything from a free math app, to flashcards or even a series of problems written by a parent. The link below has some suggestions for free math apps.
Free Math Apps
Each FRIDAY students will receive spelling lists and work. Practice spelling the words correctly and complete the homework packet due each THURSDAY. Spelling Tests will be administered on Fridays.
