Vocabulary Scavengers

Lately, we have been keen to notice new and interesting vocabulary. We are super excited about our vocabulary hat parade. Some interesting words we have used just in the past hours include: enunciate, articulate, & petrified. What interesting words have you used lately?

Patriotism

Third Grade students, here is your first blog challenge. Tell me what it means to be patriotic. I would really like it if you wrote about some of the things we have been learning in class: the pledges, the National Anthem, or about American symbols. Are you proud to be an American? Please post a developed paragraph about this topic.

Perhaps early "posters" will be given a treat at school.

Welcome Back to School!

I'm thrilled about starting a new year. I can't wait to get to know all of you. I am confident that we will learn so much from one another this year.

This first post is an INVITATION to parents. Please use this forum for a way to ask questions, give compliments, voice concerns, clarify assignments, or anything else you can think of posting.

At this time I would love getting feedback about Orientation. Getting feedback from you allows me to improve as a teacher and a person. I grow when you provide me with constructive criticism and I learn what works well with compliments. Please, feel free to voice your opinion. If you need something to post about, start with Orientation Night. I'm sure I gave you plenty to discuss.

I look forward to BLOGGING with you.
