The new school year has started off great. We were so excited to begin this year and already have started to get into the groove of learning. We have worked very hard getting use to all the new procedures and responsibilities of being a third grader. The students have been getting "Caught Being Good" and earn tickets for those good behaviors. Students are able to trade in their tickets for a prize of their choice. We now are focused on continuing those good behaviors as we also focus on being great listeners and making good use of class work time.

We are off to Great Places...
And will we SUCCEED?? YES!! We WILL indeed! (99 and 3/4% Guaranteed.) Thank you for sharing your child with me for this school year. It is going to be a great year. |
ACCELERATED READING...here is what it is all about-
The students have all been assigned a reading level and point goal for the first 9 weeks. This goal will change most 9 weeks grading periods. Students read and test over each book they read to earn point totals and comprehension scores. TOPS reports are printed and brought home for every test taken and that report shows their goal progress for points and for comprehension. Be sure to study each report as you see these come home in their folders each week. Using AR time each day to read with a focus on test taking, students should be able to reach their goal by the end of the 9 week grading period. Both goal percentage and comprehension percentage will be averaged in as part of their total reading grade.
