Congratulations to Kassie for being the first third grader so far to join the elite "Thousand Page Club"! She has read more than 1000 pages so far this year! She earned a certificate, $100 Dunnies, and a free homework pass! Awesome work!
Today was great to meet with some of you today to talk about your fantastic students. I can't wait to meet with the rest of you on Tuesday evening. I love to see that we are on the same page with your students' education. They are a very smart group of students and I expect to see that every day in their classroom participation and work.
Today was a super short day for the kids which made things go by so quickly! We spent time finishing sorting "bossy R" words (which are words with ir, ur, ar, er, and or). Each student got to make a book of the words that they sorted out. Such creativity from the students!
During reading, the students had 3 more conferences with me so we are well on our way to our hundred books! I have challenged the class to try and get the hundred books read by the end of the quarter (which is January 18)... we are in good shape to get there!
The kids are also really excited today because our classroom economy was given some new money - a $20 and a $50 bill! I have never seen students so excited for some fake money! They are eager to keep earning money, so that is a great thing. Tomorrow we have our classroom store planned which is really exciting for the students. If you are ever interested in donating materials for our classroom store, send it in with your students. They love candy, books, pencils and more! I always love seeing what they choose!
Have great evenings and get plenty of rest... we are all starting to get sick around here and we want us all to stay as healthy as possible!
