Open House

A special Thank You to all my parents for coming an hour early for Open House. I appreciate it! If you any further questions regarding the information please send me an email. Here are some pictures of The Super Stars working independently during reading time. Students have the choice of reading to self, writing center, buddy reading, or working on a project. This week we are working on a mural of the water filteration process.

Please sign up for Mark Twain PTO at http://www.marktwain.pto.org/.

Remember, if our class has 100% participation The Super Stars will get a PIZZA PARTY!

Look who is in room D201!

You may have noticed a new title to this blog site, The Super Stars! This is the name the class has decided upon. The star has five points which represent our five powers which therefore makes it a super star.

Our First Week

What a wonderful first week at Mark Twain! Thank you parents for making me feel so welcomed. I am so excited to be in third grade! If you check out the bookshelf (scroll down), you will see some of the books we have been discussing in class. After reading, It's Mine and The Crayon Box That Talked we decided as a class to use our powers of friendship, risk-taking, patience, respect and cooperation to work together in room D201. You will notice that our powers also reflect the PYP attitudes and learning profile.

Our first planner is titled, Water World. We read Magic School Bus at the Water Works and learned all about the water filteration system. The students created a book to keep track of important information such as new vocabulary words and important facts about water. We will continue to add to this book throughout the coming weeks.

Classroom News: We eat lunch at 11:45 so snacks are welcome. Please bring something that the students can keep in thier desk. Open house is September 9th. The time for our classroom is 6:00-7:00PM.
