Happy New Year!

Hello Third Grade Families!

I hope you have enjoyed this winter break as much as I have. The snow is so much fun at this time of the year. I have been having fun sliding, ice skating, snowmobiling and ice fishing with friends and family.

I am looking forward to getting to know the third graders in the weeks to come. I will be visiting the classroom for a few days in January to get acquainted with the children and school routines and am excited to start working with the third graders. I had the opportunity to meet with the children briefly on the day of the music program and it was wonderful to see all of their smiling faces and answer a few questions.

2011 will be a great year!

See you soon,
Mrs. Richter

Happy 2011!

The holiday break is almost over. I'm looking forward to seeing all the bright, smiling faces of my third graders tomorrow. I hope they're ready to come back to school! We're going to start a new chapter book in reading, a new science unit about animals, and a new social studies unit about various Native American tribes. We have a lot to learn together before your new teacher for the second semester begins! :)

Deck the Halls

"Deck the Halls" isn't just the name of one of the songs the third graders sang at the concert on Friday. It also describes what they've been doing the past few weeks. They did a great job putting up the Christmas tree, making paper chains for the tree and the room, making ornaments of many types, and painting some beautiful watercolor snowflakes. I love seeing their creations around the room.
