Tweet it! My favorite thing about 3rd Grade is ...

We are using a Twitter Board this year, as our exits slips to check what students have learned, still have questions about, or just for fun! Our first tweet was on Friday, and we tweeted on our favorite thing about 3rd Grade so far. A few of them were : my new locker, meeting new friends, learning new things, doing math, and my new teacher! :-)

First Week

We have survived the first week of 3rd Grade!!! It has been a great week, and I have already figured out that this is going to be an awesome class! This week has been rather hectic with all of the beginning of year testing we have to do, but it is OVER and we can start a real week of teaching and learning next week! Remember: Open House is Monday night at 6:00 p.m. We will all meet in the lunchroom to begin with, and then you are invited to my classroom. Our Coupon Book Fundraiser packet went home with your children yesterday (Thursday). The third grade teachers are offering rewards to those students who participate: If you child sells 1 book = 1 night with no homework, 3 books = 2 nights with no homework, 5 books = 3 nights with no homework, and 10 books = one week with no homework. Thanks so much in advance for your help with this! We have missed having one of our students at school this first week. Payton has been in the hospital at Children's in Birmingham all week, but thankfully he was released yesterday! We are happy he is getting better and look forward to his return next week!

Welcome To 3rd Grade!

Welcome Back! I am very excited and looking forward to meeting my new class very soon! We will have supply drop off on Thursday, August 15 from 7 am - 6 pm and Friday, August 16 from 8 am -3 pm. If I am not in my classroom, please put your child's supplies on his/her desk and chair. Also, please make sure you have written his/her name on each item. Remember, crayons, scissors and glue go inside zipper pack - this will stay in the classroom. If you would like an additional zipper pack for your child's folder that will be fine. Also, please do not send mechanical pencils or pencil sharpners to school with your child.

Go ahead and mark your calendars! PTSO Open House is on Monday August 26 at 6:00 pm.

I am very excited to have your child in my class for 3rd grade! It is going to be great year!! Please feel free to email me at any time with questions, jwright@gcs.k12.al.us.
