A Few Reminders!

What a wonderful first day. We have a great class this year!

Just a few reminders. If you have not already filled the papers out in the packet that went home yesterday (or today if you were unable to make the BBQ) please be sure to fill those out and send them back to school with your child tomorrow.

Also, our portable does not have a water fountain. You may send a water bottle to school with your child in case they need a drink during the day. We also eat lunch at 10:49, so be sure to send a snack to school as "brain food" for the afternoon.

I am working on getting our email list up and running. We have a new program for our emails this year, so I'm still playing with making a group email for you all. I will send a test email as soon as it is working.

Feel free to email me (owenc2@leonschools.net) if you have any questions about our first week. The first day of switching will be WEDNESDAY!

See You Tomorrow!

We had a wonderful turn-out at the BBQ today! Thank you all for coming. It was great meeting and visiting with everybody, and I hope you enjoyed your meal, and catching up with one another. I look forward to seeing your children bright and early tomorrow morning! Have a great night.

Back to School Time!

It was great to meet most of you today! 

Don't forget our school BBQ is this Sunday at 2:30.

You will be able to see Mrs. Owen's and Mrs. Williams' classrooms during that time, as well as pick up your student packets and supply list. I'm looking forward to seeing you all there!

Welcome to Third Grade!

Welcome to Mrs. Owen's Third Grade Class! I am looking forward to a wonderful year! The purpose of this blog is to give students a place to show off work, while also giving parents "eyes" into our classroom. Please be sure to check the blog frequently to see the great things we are working on in our class.

It was a tough battle, but in the end, Mrs. Owen's class proved we are the best at fairy tale trivia!

The Fairy Tale Brain Brawl has been a tradition for third graders at Springwood for over twenty years! This group of third graders kept the tradition alive by dressing up as their favorite fairy tale characters, and showing what they know about all of the fairy tales we have studied over the past month. We had lots of fun! Here are a few more pictures from our day:

After our big win!

On a sad note, Ms. Yori's last full day at Springwood was today. She has been very busy going to engineering school at night, and teaching school during the day. However, this semester, her schedule forced her to leave before the year was over.

As a surprise, we sneaked down to Ms. Yori's room and write some "We'll miss you," and "Good luck with college" messages to her as a surprise.

We had to crawl so she wouldn't see us through her windows!

She loved it when she came out and saw it!
