We Made it!!

We made it through our first week in 3rd grade!  Good job!  I enjoyed getting to know each and every student.  We learned procedures, started building our classroom community, and I realized that most 3rd graders know who Elvis was.  We were goofy, ask your student about our dance off, yoga poses, acting like our favorite animal, class wave, and hand knots!  These are all brain breaks.  We also had our first mystery reader, my mom!  They enjoyed it so much, that when I started reading a book to them the next day, they wanted my mom to do it!  I have learned who the Harry Potter fans are and that we have a very athletic class.

We have started our "Class Dojo" and I will be sending more information to you.  This is our classroom behavior management system.  They will receive points and use that for rewards like no homework pass, wear a hat pass, use a pen day, and no shoes day!  Ask your child what a smencil is and how does Mrs. Borg feel about her smencils! 

We will continue to work towards building a classroom community next week.  We will have a couple benchmark tests, nothing to study or worry about, just to assess where your student is in their learning. 

Thanks,
Mrs. Borg
