Meap

Team 208 did a fantastic job today taking the MEAP!  They read carefully and worked so hard, I am VERY proud of each one of them.  Please get a good  rest tonight and one more special breakfast because tomorrow is another MEAP READING day!

A special thank you to Madelyn’s family who brought us M&M treats to enjoy after the MEAP today!

Homework

The MEAP test is Tuesday and Wednesday this week.  Please get your child to bed early and give them a healthy breakfast each morning.  The informational book report won’t be given until FRIDAY October 11 and will be due Friday October 18 because of the MEAP and our 3 day break next week (No School October 14-16).

I only gave out 6 Pizza Coupons for book logs today.  I check the logs often and expect them to be completed with 20 minutes of reading 5 times per week. If you are not aware of this log please ask your child about ASAP!  Reading daily is the best way to become stronger readers and in third grade we are reading to learn and must have good reading skills.  The book log is NOT OPTIONAL- it is homework.

MEAP is coming…

A note came home yesterday about the MEAP testing that will happen Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.  PLEASE make sure your child gets a good night sleep and great breakfast those days!  It is also important to tell them you know they will do their best and you are so proud of them!  Kids who feel confident will do better on the test! Our class is full of wonderful students who like to hear how awesome they are (Who doesn’t?)…so please tell them.

Scientist of the Week

Our class loves science and we are going to have a Scientist of the week!  Each week a student will be selected to prepare an experiment to present to the class.  It can be any experiment they wish to share.  Students may find ideas from books or the internet (they may use a book or the internet (search Bill Nye the Science Guy or kid experiments).  Students will know they are the scientist on Monday and present on Thursday morning.

 

Paulius was our first scientist today and he did a great job!  The class loved it!
