At Back-to-School Night I was asked to get a third grade book list.  I have provided a link here that will take you to a site dedicated to book lists.  Please let me know if you need a hard copy of a third grade book list.  Happy reading!

I lost the blog!

I apologize for not getting the spelling words up yesterday.  I received a new lap top to use at school (I had been using my personal machine).  Thank you Measure S.  Anyway, I lost the blog!

This week there is no Reading Logs.  I have changed them to a weekly format and want to practice with the kids this week before sending them home next Monday.  As with the other homework, due the Monday following when it was assigned.

This week's spelling list is a review list and only 15 words long.  It follows.

1.  clock           2.  drink            3.  hopped          4.  moved          5.  waking
6.  folded         7.  stain             8.  layer              9.  team            10.  toast
11.  ladies       12.  flies            13.  bushes         14.  games         15.  slow

Reminders:

•  Wed., Sept. 19 is Picture Day
•  Book Orders due Wed., Sept. 19.  The class code to order online is LB3JQ.

Thanks for your patience as I experiment with this new format for communicating.

Happy Monday!

Happy Monday everyone!  I hope everyone had a great weekend despite the heat and humidity.

We have some kind of a cold going through the classroom (right now it's my turn).  Please do not send your child if they are too sick to learn, or if they are contagious.  No one with a fever should be at school.  Thanks!
