3rd Grade Music Program

Our third graders will be performing a Spring Program in the Brown gym on Tuesday evening, March 15, 2011. The third graders will perform at 6:30 p.m. so they should be at school and in their classrooms at 6:15p.m. Jean, scarves, and boots are appropriate wear to enhance a part of the theme which is cowboy songs.

Accomplishing Goals

Each week, as your child meets his/her reading goal of 75 minutes, they keep track of this accomplishment by putting a sticker on their reading chart. 12 students have filled their reading chart which means that for 25 weeks they have read at least 75 minutes as home. Because of this accomplishment, your child "shopped" for a new book last week. Ask them what they chose! Congratulations to Rachel, Alyssa, Katie, Garrett Vail, Anthony, Libby, Emily, Allison, McKinley, Matthew, Connor, and Mario.

Several more students are very close-keep up the great reading!

Top Readers for February

A total of 10,288 minutes were read at home during the month of February and 20 students earned a Book It award for the month. Our top 3 readers read way above the 300 minute goal for the month so they are awarded an extra prize. The top reader was Garrett Vail with 1,190 minutes. Coming in right behind Garrett was Grace Collins with 933 minutes. Last, but not least, was McKinley Brooks with 857 minutes. Great work students!

ISTEP

We made it through the first round of testing! I can not tell you how proud I am of my class!!Everyone worked very hard and tried their best. I truly want to thank each of you (parents) for sending in the letters of encouragement. It was really neat to see the students read their letters and then we shared some "bits" of encouragement with each other. Thank you for all the support you've given me and our class this year, it really means a lot to me and shows your child that you value education.
