Our fall conferences are quickly approaching. You will be receiving a reminder email from Sign-Up Genius soon with your scheduled day and time. Please email me if you need to reschedule your appointment. If you have not done so, please send in your child's conference goal sheet as soon as possible. I look forward to meeting with you to discuss your 3rd grader’s goals for this year.
Happy Birthday to Varun last Thursday!
Finally, planners are your child’s best friend! Be sure to review his/her planner and important dates at the end of this newsletter. Thank you!
Enjoy your weekend! Play hard, read lots, and clip those box tops! The box top competition ends soon.
Gratefully,
Mrs. McDonald

Character Word of September: WELCOMING
BOOK BUCKS

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.
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.
