Monday News
Hello Families,
Please read this with your
child.
The Monday News will serve as the Newsletter for our classroom. It will also be the time when the bloggers (class job) post pictures and a short paragraph about the happenings in our classroom. This week I will post the pictures.

Please note: I will only use students’ initials on this blog. Please do not
use students’ names if you post a comment.
The homework folder will
come home Monday with the students first official homework. I will keep track
of completed homework and there will be a grade that reflects completed
homework on the report cards. You will notice that I do not expect a reading
log from students. I believe that reading is part of our everyday lives and it
should be enjoyable. To create reading
lives, I do not want a timer set for reading. I have a guideline of a
minimum of 20-30 minutes of reading each night. This can include reading recipes,
reading directions to board games, reading poetry, reading picture books,
reading series, etc. It is also important to listen to reading. Please enjoy
books alone and with each other. Find a comfy place in the house and make
reading a daily routine that everyone looks forward to!
With that said, there
needs to be some accountability that students are reading at home. Therefore,
there will be monthly book reports about a book from home. If students are not reading, they will not have a book to report on.

Math: 3rd

Reading: Read for 20-30
minutes each night
