Last week of school before winter break in pictures...

We tried to "duck" the 6th grade class/ teacher who is an Ohio fan, they started it with signs on our door in the morning "Pro Buckeyes" :)

I made the same apple muffin mix (that I measured out...) into mini muffins and got about 15 of them- they were good!

Holiday concert- Wednesday, December 16th

Mrs. Tengei's class ready for the concert

Bond's class before the concert- they looked so good all dressed up!


Ms. Connie, Justus' mom, came in to both our 3rd grade classes and created this winter scene with our kids! AMAZING!

More Student of the Week...

I hope these are all of them! I couldn't remember where we left off.

Holiday Homework

Holiday homework packet!

· The student will work through the AIMS math practice test. When doing this in the classroom, they are on their own and quiet. However, while at home it is ok to work through some difficult problems together this time. DO NOT WRITE ON THE TESTBOOK, only the answer bubble sheet. We would like to use these as much as possible for practice.
· One sheet of 3’s multiplication, also practice using the 12x table as many problems as possible.
· Holiday word search and crossword
· READ

** To be turned in January 4th**
1. bubble sheet and AIMS practice packet
2. 3x’s table sheet
3. holiday word search and crossword

This will be going home Thursday or Friday of this week :)

Music Program Wednesday, Dec. 16th

Don't forget the music program tomorrow, Wednesday night at 6:30!
All students need to report by then to our classroom and we will walk together into the concert/ cafeteria. The concert will be held in a cafeteria/ multipurpose room.
Dress code: Holiday dress (nice, red legacy shirt ok) or a skirt/ dress, holiday shirt and nice pants.

ALSO, congratulations to our classroom spelling bee champions from today. Journey won in 1st place, Gillian 2nd. Both girls will go onto represent our class in the school wide competition in January. I was so impressed with our class as a whole, we had to go through the 3rd grade list twice because no one would get out!

Keep it up, 3 more days until the break. BRING PENCILS PLEASE. We are going through a crazy amount.

Spelling Bee

Until this morning I thought we could do our class spelling bee any time next week and so was going to have it next Friday the 18th. However, I found out that we have to do it Tuesday the 15th. I sent home a list of all the 3rd grade words we will be using so they can study them over the weekend. Next week's spelling list is a little different and a mixed version of 30 of these spelling bee words. I will post them here in case anyone loses their printed list (I know they never lose anything like that! :) ) I stapled most in their Friday packet.
The winner and runner up will go onto the school wide spelling bee January 14th.

Hope to see some of you pretty soon at school for the movie. Also, sorry if your student has said I was grouchy this week- I might have been :) I finally just went to chiropractor after school today for back pain- woke up with it last Saturday morning- and I slipped a disk...Have to bend over less (somehow...)

Social Studies, 13 Colonies

Morning!
Just wanted to post some links to check out from home. We will look at some at school, but Pete's Power Point Station is such a cool sight with information on just about every subject, many in power point. Check out those "for Kids" for more Kid friendly information!
From this website I found some websites for students about the 13 colonies; about daily life and games from colonial Williamsburg and occupations.

Let me know if you have any questions via the blog, e-mail or phone!
