Transitions (and this week's spelling words)

Third grade is a year of many transitions. The students begin to become responsible for many of their daily needs. At the beginning of the year, they start by building good routines. In the morning, they have four main jobs that need to be completed before 8:30. They need to sign up for milk, put their homework in the homework bin, read/sign the morning message, and sharpen two pencils. Right now, these jobs take about 15 minutes and lots of reminders from me, but soon they will have the time down to just a few minutes, with very few reminders. I love watching them grow into responsible students!



Another transition is remembering to bring home their new spelling lists every Monday. Here are this week's spelling words.
