AIMS Week (April 16th-20th)

During AIMS week there will be no story, spelling list, or math homework.  Instead, please have your child get a good night's sleep, eat a nutritious breakfast, and come to school on time.  Please avoid any unnecessary absences as attendance is crucial during the week of AIMS Testing.   

Wish us well!

Thanks for support!

Dojo

Hello,
Our class is excited about a new program we'll be implementing.  It's called Dojo.  Dojo is a powerful class management tool that is entirely electronic.  Student earn or lose points based on specific classroom behaviors and they get to choose their own avatars.  In lieu of Character Cards, I'll be emailing behavior reports weekly.  No more signing Character Cards!  I hope you enjoy this new program.  I know that the students love it.

April Newsletter

Spring has arrived!!  Third grade is still going full force; learning, growing, and having fun! 

The Math Fact Sundae Challenge is motivating students to learn their multiplication facts!  Students will enjoy sundaes with toppings that coincided with the facts that they’ve mastered.    Thank you to all parents who donated to this activity.  If you haven’t donated yet, there’s still time!  We’ll have our sundae party on April 27^th. 

AIMS Testing is fast approaching!  All year, third grade has been working on mastering the Arizona’s Instrument to Measure Standards.  The test is scheduled for the week of April 16^th.  Please do not schedule any appointments for this very important week.  As with any other school day, please be sure your child comes to school well rested and prepared to perform.

Wish us well as we dominate and conquer the AIMS test!
