Hello Third Grade Families,
This week the students will be presenting their MYSTERY BOOK REPORTS. Please be sure that child knows about the items that they have in their boxes and are able to explain them to the class. A great way to help them with their presentations is to have the information written on index cards that they can read from. We will start presentations on Monday and finish up on Thursday.
Our Student council is hosting a SOCK-TOBER event: From October 17th – 28th. The school is collecting BRAND NEW SOCKS to donate to a local charitable organization. Collection boxes will be in the Morrissey Hall lobby, the junior high wing (near door #12), and in the Parish Center. Sock sizes can be for adults or children.
CONGRATULATIONS to this week’s PBIS ticket winner Max Jones. 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.
