Settling In!
We have completed our study of the 4 Cs for success. We have practiced collaboration, creativity, critical thinking and communication. These skills are essential for success in school and in life.
Each student set two goals for themselves. One is a writing goal and the other is a reading goal. Ask your child what goals they set for themselves.

We had a great time at the Fun Run!
Head's Up
Math fact fluency baggies went home on Thursday. They are expected to be returned from home each morning and brought home each afternoon. Please encourage a few minutes of practice each night. Each student will be assessed on their individual facts each Thursday.
Also, please return the Conner Prairie permission as soon as possible so that I can plan for groups and chaperones. We are excited to learn about our region's past!

We Need Your Help!
PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE!
Parents, we really need your help! The kids are working incredibly hard to earn money each week. They are excited to shop in the class store at the end of quarter one. I have a small collection of small toys, novelties, books, trinkets, etc. that 3rd graders would like. However, it isn't much. Please donate whatever you can so the kids can spend their hard earned money. :) Small stuffed animals, craft kits, novelty pens and pencils, stickers, games, etc. would be great ideas.
