Week of 9/10

Dear Families,
Welcome back to school! The students have had a wonderful week getting to know each other as we learn rules and routines in Third Grade! We have enjoyed reading together and independently, making and interpreting graphs, learning about citizenship, and writing paragraphs to tell about a special talent.
Next week will be another busy one! We will complete our unit on picture and bar graphs in Math. In Reading we will continue practice reading strategies in fictional text. In Social Studies we will complete our unit on citizenship. The students will have a test on Thursday, September 13. In writing we will focus on staying on one topic when writing a paragraph.
Fundraiser
Our fundraiser packets came home today! We are excited to offer online donations. Please support Trevvett by participating in the fundraiser this year! Because of parental participation in 2017 I have a new document camera to use in my classroom, and your child can earn many exciting prizes.
Homework
Homework will begin the week of September 17. Please make sure you child is reading at home for at least twenty minutes in a calm environment. We visited the library today and the students are very excited to have school library books to read. In addition the students’ usernames and passwords for MobyMax came home today in their agendas. This is a computer program that will help you child improve and advance their skills in reading and math. They are in the plastic front pocket of their agendas.
Every Monday I will send home a packet with Reading and Math practice for the week. Please make sure that your child is completing their homework every night. The packet is due to me on Fridays when we will go over important parts to check for understanding. In addition to written homework the students are expected to study their notebooks for upcoming tests. I will have student write this in their agenda and instruct them to take home the appropriate notebooks two nights before the test will be given. Please check the agenda every night!

Trevvett’s Back to School night is Tuesday, September 11 at 6 pm. Two sessions will be schedueled to accommodate families with more than one child at Trevvett. Please come to learn more in depth information about my classroom structure. I hope to see you all on Tuesday.
