Classroom News and Reminders
Reading Homework- Your child should be reading for a total of 30 minutes each night. Please log the book that your child reads in his/her assignment book.
Field Trips- Several of the students have asked me if we will be going on any field trips this year. I honestly don't have an answer for them. I have no idea what the future holds. Until we figure it out, I would love to take some virtual field trips. If you work some place that is exciting or have an awesome hobby that you would like to share, please let me know. I would love to set up a time for you to take our class or the whole third grade on a field trip with you.
Cogat Testing- The Cogat assessment measures cognitive development and problem-solving skills. It measures a student's ability to reason and problem solve using verbal, quantitative and spacial (non-verbal) methods to find the answers. Click the links below to find sample Cogat questions/tests. Your child can spend time perusing the links to familiarize themselves with the format of the assessment.

Attestation Forms- Thank you for completing this every morning!
Assignment Books-Please check your child's assignment book each night and initial it. I check these each morning for signatures and special notes from you. The assignment book is also a great place to note transportation changes for the day.
