Week 6 (Sep. 16-20th)

Hello families! We are in FULL swing here in 3rd grade! Students have been hard at work learning our core subjects, remembering our expectations, how to be good citizens, as well as working together to earn class Dojo awards. They're doing great and I am super proud of all of them!

Since beginning our small group reading time, I have noticed that many kids need to practice their oral reading fluency. When your child reads at home as part of nightly homework, please sit with him/her and listen & monitor their reading and have them read aloud. We only have a certain amount of time in class to practice this skill, so it will be most beneficial for students to practice at home also. Have a great week!
