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!

We've Been Very Busy!

We have been very busy in third grade reading class! We just finished our first unit about Friendship. The story we read this past week was about Jackie Robinson. Our classes were very appalled by segregation (ask your child what that word means), and loved learning about Jackie Robinson's accomplishments, and the friendship between him and Pee Wee Reese.

Even though I send home the score sheet of what your child makes on his/her test each week, please be sure you are logging into Imagine It with your child so you can view his/her test, and go over missed questions. The skills repeat themselves a lot within the Imagine It stories, so reviewing what your child is struggling with now will help us correct it and increase their scores in the long run.

On Monday, we will begin our new unit: "Animals and Their Habitats." You can get a jump start on our story by logging into Imagine It and reading or listening to our new story: "One Small Place in a Tree." It is Unit 2 Lesson 1.
