Thursday Homework

Parents,

I just wanted to let you all know I will not be assigning a Skills Practice page for homework on Thursdays anymore. Starting NEXT THURSDAY, I will be assigning a review page. Tonight's homework simply says to study for their test, so they do not have a homework page this week.

Please be sure to go over the review sheet with them when I start sending them home next week. I really want us to focus on improving test scores, and understanding how to answer higher order questions, as this will be a big task for our students when they take FCAT in the spring.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns!

Tomorrow

Tomorrow, our class is being rewarded for earning the most money out of all of the third grade classes in the Cady Fundraiser. Way to go! We will have pizza and juice for lunch, provided by PTO. Thank you for helping our school!

The Proper Way to Start a Friday

Pink Ladies!

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we "Painted the Town Pink" at Springwood today. None of our boys sported pink (we did have some shades of red which were close) but our girls definitely delivered. Here is a picture of our "Pink Ladies," and a picture of the third grade teachers sporting their pink, too!

Outstanding Owl!

Congratulations to Shareed Ross, our first "Outstanding Owl!"

Each month a student from every class is chosen to be an "Outstanding Owl." Shareed earned this award for HARD WORK! He got to eat lunch and dessert with Dr. Small and Ms. Austin today, as well as the other "Outstanding Owls" from third, fourth and fifth grade!

Way to go Shareed!

Imagine It Test

Just wanted to let you all know the Imagine It tests were excluded from the Monday Folder. Please check your child's agenda book for their test scores on TUESDAY.  Please sign and return as usual. I apologize for the inconvenience!
