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.

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!
