Welcome to Our Classroom

The SPRING FLING (formerly the Harvest Festival), is coming up soon. It will be held on Friday, May 5. I will be sending home raffle tickets starting the 3rd of April.

Please look for a list of raffle tickets you can choose from.

We have started working on our 3RD GRADE scrapbooks. If you have not sent pictures for the first two pages: p. 1 & 2 - student

p. 3 & 4 - student's family

please send them so that your child can begin working in their scrapbooks.

We are focusing on our times tables through 12s, measurement, and story problems for Math.

Please look in their take home work on Fridays for their Scholastic News!

Good News! We had most of the students in our class earn 15 A. R. points the 3rd quarter. They are excited about getting started for the last quarter.

If you need to call Ms. Ledford or Ms. Wachacha, the 3rd grade has a phone that they share. The number is 497-7631.

You will see a lot of test prep materials coming home in the following weeks and months as we prepare for the End of Grade tests.

Spotlight

Each student wrote a persuasive essay about his/her favorite president and why they felt their president was them most instrumental in American history.

The students essays are on display outside of our classroom on our bulletin board. Please come by and read the students essays. I am very proud of the efforts they made.

We are Keepers of the Little People

The Sacred Path program is a character education program developed to promote caring, responsibility, and respect for self and others while following traditional tribal beliefs. Each grade level meets to discuss issues that need to be addressed within the grade block and the school. Together they determine solutions to any problems that are addressed and work together to solve those problems. Students and teachers work together on the Sacred Path to make the school a safe place to learn.

Parent's Corner

Here are some things you can do to help prepare your child for the writing test:

1. When they ask if they can watch TV ask them to give you three good reasons why you should let them watch TV. This will help them work on their persuasive writing skills.

2. Ensure they good plenty of rest the night before the test.

3. On the day of the test make sure they have a really good breakfast and show up for school prepared with sharpened pencils.
