End of the Grading Period!

This Friday marks the end of the 2nd nine week grading period! Report cards will be sent home at the end of next week! Everyone has worked so hard to maintain or raise their grade! Slowly, these third graders are becoming more prepared for fourth grade! Keep up the wonderful work you do with your child each night!

PSSA Preparation!

The PSSAs are about a month and a half away now! I am very confident that the students are more than prepared for these tests! Over the next few weeks, there may be some more tests, more writing assignments, and more Learning Center work! If you have any questions regarding the PSSAs, please feel free to contact me with any questions!

I also wanted to say what a WONDERFUL job each and every student did on writing the pen pal letters for this week! I hope you got to read the first letter that your child received from their pen pal, and hope you got to read what your child wrote back! I am very proud of how responsible and serious these students are treating these letters!

Graphic Aid!

I hope everyone is enjoying their day off! I wanted to post some pictures from last week because the students worked so hard on a graphic aid activity. The students circulated 25 cards around the room, and each card had 4 questions on it. So the students completed a total of 100 difficult questions!! I attached the pictures below!

This week is a four day week, but all of our tests will still be on Friday! Please be sure to study with your child on Thursday night. We are now just about two months away from the PSSAs. I can assure you that each and every student will be more than prepared for these tests. The PSSAs are the week of March 14th. I believe there will be a letter with information on the testing sent home late February-early March. Please feel free to contact me with any questions in the mean time!
