Conference Week

Sorry for the late post, I had some internet issues at my house.  Last week was wonderful!  It was so great to meet with all the family and loved ones of my students.  I appreciate all you do for your students and I know that they appreciate it also.  We continued talking about Paul Revere, Soil, and Nonfiction texts last week.  We also had our "Election Day Brainstorm" activity!  It was so much fun to decide between Duck or Grace for President and walk the students through the election process!  I love teaching!!

Don't forget the Dance is coming up and hopefully with the start of the new month you have sent in your child's menu!  We will be going to the book fair Friday afternoon, so send your child with money if you want them to purchase any books.

Thanks,
Mrs. B

Peek Correction!!

I mistyped on the peek at the week!  The correct pages for math workbook pages should be 66,67,68,69 for Ms. Knothe, Borg, and Sims.  Sorry for the confusion and I will let the other teachers know I posted the wrong pages!
Thanks,
Mrs. Borg

Fossil Dig Pictures

Howdy!

Week 10 is in the books!  This week was great, we started learning about nonfiction, fact families and strategies, soils, and Paul Revere.  I love it when the students are interested and engaged, it is not always easy, but I try my best to make it interesting!  The highlight this week was our "fossil dig" with rice krispy treats!  The students learned about archeological digs for fossils and then practiced finding the "fossil" (M&M).  Thanks to Stanley's mom, Fatima, for the treats.

I am looking forward to conference week and seeing all you.  I need to stick to my schedule so please be a few minutes early and understand when I need to end our conference on time.  The students will have early release on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.  I have included some more websites for your student to practice math facts and games.  Thanks again to Noelle's mom, Beth, for coming on Wednesdays to teach Zumba during recess and Ryle's mom, Rochelle, for always sending my emails and coming in to do some filing!  We will be having an election activity coming up for all of 3rd grade and need some help, watch for the emails!
Thanks,
Mrs. Borg
