Dear Parents,
Congratulations to Sam for being our MVP of the week. We enjoyed learning more about our special classmate when he shared his banner with us on Monday.
Kudos to all the students who participated in the "Reading is Fairy Good for Every Gnome!" Program! I am so PROUD of our life-long readers!
It's hard to believe that we are just weeks away from the Thanksgiving break! I thank you in advance for the continued support on nightly homework as we are getting into the season of busy evenings.
Enjoying your children,
Mrs. McDonald
3rd GRADE and CCE CAMPUS ANNOUNCEMENTS
TAG PARENT REFERRAL INFORMATION MEETING
For all families interested in finding out more about referring a student (who is not currently identified) for TAG testing. Please join us on November 6, 2018 at 6:00 p.m. in the CCE Library.
NEWS FROM OUR CCE LIBRARY
Mark your calendars for our annual CCE Fall Scholastic Book Fair the week of November 12-16th. What a great opportunity to purchase books for your child!
THIRD GRADE FIELD TRIP TO THE PAC
Third graders will enjoy a performance of “The Coloring Book” by the Westwood High School Theater Department on November 13th. Permission slips will be going home in your child’s Tuesday folder this week. We will be eating lunch when we arrive back to school, but just in case we are late for our regularly scheduled lunch, it is a good idea for your child to bring a sack lunch from home that we can eat in the classroom.
THANKSGIVING FEAST
Our Annual Thanksgiving Day Feast is Wednesday, November 14th during your child’s regular lunch time (12:12-12:42). We love to have family members join us!
PICTURE RETAKES
For those who ordered a school picture package, if you are not satisfied with your child's pictures, return the entire packet to school and we will hold onto them until re-takes on November 29th.
RECESS
Please make sure your child is dressed for the cold/damp weather. We try to make it outside unless it is raining or there are freezing temperatures.
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 Education Galaxy, to flashcards or even a series of problems written by a parent.
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.
