I hope everyone has had a wonderful summer! I know our time off goes by so fast, but I am excited to begin another school year. Some of my favorite parts of this summer were hiking in Colorado, being a part of my younger sister's wedding day, completing 5 Masters classes, and water skiing in Tennessee. I am greatly looking forward to hearing about the 3rd graders summer vacations!
The purpose of this blog is to share with parents and grandparents what we are learning, creating and studying in our 3rd grade classroom. I hope that you will check back with us often and that this blog will be another effective way of communicating with our families.
Looking forward to meeting all of you in a few weeks!
We have had a great start to 3rd grade! Students have caught on to the routines and procedures of our classroom very quickly. Even though we have only been together for 2 weeks, students have done a phenomenal job working together, respecting their peers, and being leaders in the classroom. We already have a class pet, Smokey the turtle, which has allowed for students to gain even more responsibility. Some of the highlights of the school year so far have been seeing friends, participating in "teamwork" activities, and science experiments.
