Hello Third Grade Families,
Our PBIS winner this week was Grace Mosqueda . Don’t forget that Students have MANY different opportunities in the classroom to earn PBIS tickets everyday. Some of the ways are FULLY completing and turning in homework NEATLY and ON TIME. Following ALL directions and NEATLY completing classwork assignments the same day. Memorizing multiplication facts 0 to 12 (the students get 1 ticket for each set of facts memorized.) There will be many more opportunities added through the year.
Preparations for the annual Spring Auction is underway. The OLDEST or ONLY kids in school brought home an incentive flyer filled with LOTS of fun challenges and prizes if goals are met. We read through the flyer and the list of incentives in class and the students were really excited with the possibilities. The first Challenge is to have EVERY St. Cletus family register for the fundraiser by January 31st. When we meet this goal the school children will take part in a special event. Families should register for the event using this website: palooza2023.givesmart.com. Once on the site click on Become a #Cardinalpalooza VIP. So that I can keep track of the students / families who have signed up from third Grade the students will be bringing home a paper to be returned to school by the 30th.

Spelling: Our spelling words this week a ones the writers commonly misspell as they work. As the week goes on students will work with: one and two syllable words, contractions, as well as sound and letter patterns and practice word building skills to enhance their knowledge of these commonly misspelled words.
Phonics: The class will review how words can be divided into syllables by counting the number of vowels it has. We will learn the sound of vowels when they are paired with the letter R (ar, er, ir, or, and ur) also known as R-controlled Vowels or Bossy R.
Reading: This week we will finish working with the story “About the Earth.” The students will take a short comprehension quiz about of the story.
