Reading Calendars are due on Monday, October 1!
We will have our extra reading recess on Monday too so don't forget! I wanted to leave this on the top of the blog as a reminder for the weekend.
Other Notes:
- On Monday we'll also be taking our MAPs (Measures of Academic Progress) test for language arts. The kids sometimes get confused because we are studying map skills in social studies, but the MAPs test is just an acronym. On Oct. 1 we will do the language arts portion and on Oct. 3 we'll do the math portion. Students usually get done in under an hour and the test is taken on the computer.
- I added a page at the top of the blog called Weekly Classroom Links. This is a page that will change often but will give students a quick place to access the links we are using for that class period. We will use the Internet during iPad time and/or computer time.
- The parade next week will actually begin at 2:30 and not 2:00 as it says on the master calendar. If you are going to take your child home after the parade please send a note in the morning. It can be kind of a crazy day. Thanks.
- Finally, I had a plan to send links to interesting articles for parents this year (Don't worry, there won't be any quizzes:) I have been sending out so many posts that I wasn't sure when I would start sending them out. For now, I am adding it to the update page. Here's the first article: Your Third Grader's Brain
