Mrs. Greene's 3rd Grade
February 19, 2018
A Great Week!
Things I saw happen in Room 9 this week...
- Hard work from EVERYONE as we are working hard at honing our RESPONSE WRITING skills. This is a hard skill and it takes a lot of perseverance for a 3rd grader to be successful at it! I'm seeing HUGE growth from all!
- Siddharth is doing a great job being a risk-taker and volunteering his thoughts/ideas during class discussion!
- Yuvani is working so hard on her SSL project. She told me she worked on it at home one night last week. Who needs homework when students are motivated to do their own learning?
- Riya's writing organization is OUTSTANDING!
- The collaboration I am seeing between Ethan, Austin, Griffin, Cole, and Kaeleb on their SSL project is amazing! Great ideas, teamwork, and respect toward each other!!
These are just a few of the MANY things I observed! Stay tuned for more...
ISTEP for all 3rd Grade Classes begins on Monday, February 26. We test in the morning each day that week. If at all possible, please try to schedule doctor's appointments around these dates and times.
I plan to send an OPTIONAL writing assignment home Tuesday, February 20 for homework. It will be due Friday, February 23. If your child completes it, he/she will enjoy a cartoon lunch in the classroom (including a special treat) on Friday, February 23.
Enjoy your long weekend...
Looking forward to a GREAT week next week!
Enjoy your weekend...
