Parent Night Tonight!

Welcome parents to room 206!

Students brought home their green "Take Home Folder" for the first time today. This will be where they will keep all of their notes home from me and all of their homework. Please keep an eye out for this folder!

Don't forget that tonight is parent's night. Our 4th grade meeting is at 7pm. I hope to see you all there! (And I promise to give a few Viking's updates throughout the meeting!)

First Day of School

Hello Students and Families,

It is good to see that many of you have stopped by our classroom blog! We will continue to implement more and more of our work on the blog as we go through the year. This is a great place to stop by if you have questions on assignments or upcoming exams.

Today was a great day back in the classroom! We started to get into the swing of our school day, picked out our independent reading books from our classroom library, and got to know our classmates a little better.

Tomorrow, we will determine our classroom rules, take a reading placement test for upcoming guided reading groups, and share our souvenirs from the summer!

Don't forget to bring your souvenir (it can be a photograph, drawing, or item from your summer vacation).

I look forward to seeing you tomorrow!

Sincerely,

Miss Mulvahill

Calling all students!

Boys and girls, the count down is on! Only 29 days until the first day of school and am I excited or what! We have lots of great things going on in room 206. One of which is a new SMART Board. This is going to be a great tool for us to use in our classroom!

Desks are getting cleaned, bulletin boards are almost up, and we're nearly ready for YOU to join us at Sioux Trail once again.

I'll post more updates as the summer comes to a close!

Check out the new site and the new links below.

Have a great day,

Miss Mulvahill

3rd Grade Writing

Families and Students of the 3rd Grade,

We have now begun the process of working on our research reports. All students in the 3rd grade are currently researching "monkeys." However, students have chosen specific topics that they are interested in digging further into. Therefore, the research papers will vary on their contents. Many students asked if it would be alright for them to do some of their research at home. I strongly encourage students to work both at home and at school on their project. We have not yet gone over the note-taking process, but we will do so within the next week. Also, we will be discussing plagiarism (how to make sure we're not doing it) in the next week as well.

I look forward to learning more about monkeys from the students' work!

Sincerely,

Miss Mulvahill
