We will work on building classroom community and practicing classroom expectations over the next two weeks. This will help to set up a successful learning environment!

Reading: We will practice setting up our "Read to Self" station and work on our reading stamina. We will also enjoy different read alouds this week!

Math: We will being our math warm ups and practice cooperative learning strategies to learn from each other. We will also being practicing our math station rotations and focus on what math stations should look like and sound like during our numeracy block.

Writing: We will work on getting to know our classmates by asking and answering questions. We will also practice writing stamina while working on quick writes.

Content: We will discuss what our Class Family looks like. We will discuss our growth mindset and the power of "I don't know YET!" We will also begin our "Where in the World is MO?" social studies unit.

Weekly Newsletter: I plan to send my classroom newsletter each week by Sunday evening at 8pm. I try to keep these short, but there is important information regarding what students are learning as well as different events happening at Lyon!

Email Policy: I will respond to email within 24 hours Monday - Friday. I will typically respond during my plan time or before/after school after receiving an email from you.

Take Home Folders: Your child will bring home a take home folder each day. These folders will contain daily work and any other relevant paperwork (permission slips, photo envelopes, etc.). Papers in the "keep at home" side can be taken out and reviewed with your child. If you have any notes or lunch money to send to school, please place them in the "return to school" side. I check take home folders every daily and place papers for students to take home every afternoon.

Seesaw: Seesaw is a learning platform that allows each child to create a digital portfolio of work completed in 3rd Grade. Students will make posts in Seesaw to share their writing, reading, or explain their thinking. I will also share photos of our class learning through Seesaw. I will share out your child's Seesaw information to have you connect with their account this week. Please let me know if you have any issues connecting!
