First Week of School

What a great first week of school we've had! I'll start posting pictures as soon as I have all of the blog permission slips turned in.

The week started off with 100% attendance (either in person or by telephone) at our Back To School Conferences. Thank you, parents and grandparents, for taking the time to come in with your child and talk about third grade. I really believe your students do better when they know they have family support behind them.

The first few days of school are filled with lots of listening, some sharing, some "getting-to-know-you" activities, and, hopefully, some fun, too! There's also a lot of filling out forms for parents. We've gotten most of the forms back. If you still have some at home, please send them back to school with your child.

Next week, we will begin our first reading story and our first science chapter. Check back here on Monday or Tuesday for the first spelling list, too. We're ready to learn!
