News this week...

• Our fall reading challenge is in full swing! I am so excited to see these awesome bluebirds reading like crazy!! This extra practice is going to make a great impact on their reading growth this year.

• We finish our study of Charlotte's Web this week - it has been a wonderful novel study! A permission form to view the movie in class so that we can compare and contrast the film and the book will be coming home soon. 

• Third grade Scoops Night is coming up on October 13th! I will be there starting at about 6 p.m. There will be a fun raffle for the students to enter when they arrive if you are able to attend!

• Our last T-shirt Tuesday will be October 6th! Thank you for encouraging your child to participate in this team building activity during the first quarter. 

Reminders...

• Students sit outside under our classroom windows in the morning starting at 7:45. The first bell rings at 8:15 to enter the classroom. Breakfast is available to all students during that morning wait time.

• If you have a transportation change, please be sure to call it into the office by 2:15 p.m.

• We will have T-shirt Tuesday every week for the first quarter - thank you for reminding your child to pick a shirt to share every Tuesday. 

• I will be reading three Sunshine State books to the class as read alouds that they do not need to read on their own. These include The Last Resort, The Sherlock Society, and The Lion of Lark-Hayes Manor.
