Hello Third Grade Families,
Don’t forget that this month the theme for our ROOM 114 family picture board is HALLOWEEN. Send in a picture of your child in their favorite costume. Be sure to put their name on the back so that they can be returned at the end of the month.
This past week the students brought in their september book reports and the projects that they made to help with their presentations. The projects are AMAZING and I can’t wait to hear all about them this week in class.
This week the students will be coming home with the prayer, poems and book report projects for October. The due dates for projects are Prayer: October 14th, Poems: October 21st, and Book Reports: October 24th.
CONGRATULATIONS to this week’s PBIS ticket winner SHAWN HOUSE. Remember 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.
