I am looking forward to meeting with everyone for conferences.\u00a0 It is always a pleasure.\u00a0 Keep in mind that in 3rd grade we begin recording percentages.\u00a0 Dearborn’s report card scores as such: 95%-100% = 1, 80%-94% = 2, 70%-79% = 3, and 69% and below = 4.\u00a0 Many of the children will not receive 1’s – not by my standards – by Dearborn’s.\u00a0 To obtain a 95% and above consistently is not common.\u00a0 So, please be happy if your child receives 2’s.\u00a0 Praise them for the good work they are doing.<\/p>\n
Next, I apologize in my previous BLOG entry if I offended anyone by saying “I am not God.”.\u00a0 I tend to want to share pieces of myself and my personality in my BLOG so that you can get to know me but I realize that reading what someone wrote and hearing it are two different things.\u00a0 By saying that, I simply meant that I wish I could look down from above and know which student has a tummy ache, which student couldn’t sleep last night, or which student is afraid to ask a question.\u00a0 If they don’t tell me, I don’t know.\u00a0 \u00a0It would be wonderful to have the ability to “fix” everything.\u00a0 So, from now on, I will stick to the facts in my BLOG.<\/p>\n
Spelling- The week of Thanksgiving there will not be a test.\u00a0 We will be doing some word work with spelling words from previous lists.<\/p>\n
Daily 5- All students are reading their new chapter books.\u00a0 Groups are going well.\u00a0 We have some interesting discussions.\u00a0 They are responsible each night to keep up with their Daily 5 Chapter Activity Book.<\/p>\n
Writing- We will have an Opinion piece done by Thankgiving.\u00a0 Fingers crossed!<\/p>\n
Math- Unit 3 Test will be given before Thanksgiving on Line Plots, Measurement, Perimeter and Area.\u00a0 Unit 4 is Multiplication…get those flash cards out!<\/p>\n
Science- Weather is our next unit. Magnets will be finished this week.<\/p>\n
Social Studies- We begin learning about Michigan’s history – from the time the Native Americans were here up to the Present Day.\u00a0 It has been fun learning about Michigan’s Human and Natural Characteristics.<\/p>\n
I will see everyone soon.\u00a0 Be thankful for your children – I am.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
