The last few weeks, I have been sending information via Class Dojo rather than posting it to my blog. I can't decide which I like better, so I thought I would let you vote. Please be sure to let me know your opinion! Our agenda page can be found below for this week. You can also click on the links underneath to download an additional copy of each night's homework.
Our 3rd grade newsletter is attached. Please review the upcoming events and let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns!

Hello, everyone! Each Monday, I will send out a message similar to this one with important information regarding the week. Please feel free to comment or email me should you have any questions. Below, you will find a copy of the students' agenda page for the week. We copy down all homework assignments on Monday to help manage time. Students also received all of their written homework for my class today, stapled together. I do this so that if you have sports/church/personal events throughout the week, your student can go ahead and work ahead on their homework, however, I only collect one day at a time. So tomorrow, I will collect the sheet that says MONDAY NIGHT'S HOMEWORK from them at the beginning of class. Our school rule is no homework = no recess, so students who fail to complete their homework will be required to sit out their entire recess. Each week, I also include a digital copy of the homework in the event your child misplaces their copy, you can print extras. (Just click on the words 'digital copy' and it will download the pdf). Students received their Monday Mail today and should have it inside their mail folder. The top page of the Monday Mail is their Dojo Report for the previous week. This report will need to be signed and returned the following day. Attached are other school alerts, lunch notices, graded papers, etc. Please be sure to review these each week. The third grade newsletter is also attached to this Monday Mail. A digital copy of this can also be found below to reference throughout the week. Please also remember that we have Orientation night tomorrow, Tuesday, August 28th at 4:00, 4:45, and 5:30. Each time slot will be the same presentation, we just present multiple times to allow you to attend other grade level presentations if you have multiple children. The presentations will last approximately 25-30 minutes and will begin promptly at each time slot.
Please let me know if you have any further questions. I am looking forward to a great week of learning and I have enjoyed getting to know your children these first few days of school. Good morning!
