I have a few last minute reminders before it's time to stuff ourselves with 
turkey!  (By the way, I'm totally wearing maternity pants on Thanksgiving 
this year whether I need them or not!)

*Don't forget to have your child bring their winter items to school tomorrow 
for our photo shoot.  Coats, hats, scarves, mittens, and anything else you'd 
wear out to play in the snow is welcome!

*Book orders are due on December 2nd.  Please let me know about the secret 
book by then.  If you would like to order online the username is "sevier" and 
the password is "antlers".

*Next Tuesday is Bedlam Spirit Day.  I will try to find an OSU shirt that 
still fits me . . . as for your child, have them wear their team shirt of 
choice.

*If I don't see or talk to you before, have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

I can't believe it's the last week in October!  It is a really busy week with 
Halloween festivities, Red Ribbon Week, centers, and report cards!  We also 
have conferences and Book Fair coming up next week.  I have included a lot of 
information in this week's newsletter.  Please make sure you look for it in 
your child's BEAR binder tonight.  You will also find the conference sign-up 
in there.  I will schedule conferences on a first come, first served basis.  
So, get them to me as soon as possible to get your first pick!  If you are 
unable to attend, please let me know so we can have a phone conference.

Have a great week, and enjoy your extra hour of sleep this weekend!

Well, it's going to be another busy week in Room 525!  We're off to a good 
start today . . . we have new reading levels and AR goals, a whole new round 
of centers, a spelling pretest, a new spelling contract, definitions, a 
musical to practice for, and computer lab . . . all before recess and 
lunch!!  Of course, this month starts the holiday season and we will be just 
as busy in the weeks and months ahead.  Here is an update of some things that 
will be going on soon:

Wednesday, October 21st- Baby pictures due for door decorating contest

Thursday, October 22nd- 3rd grade muscial
We'll perform at 2:00 p.m. (rather than 12:45 p.m.)for the entire school.

classroom between 6:30 and 6:45.

We're going to recite a Halloween poem and give some safety tips for Trick-or-
Treating.  Feel free to stop by if you'd like!  The costume parade is at 2:15 
and parties are at 2:45.

*I had the due date for bringing pumpkins as this Thursday.  I don't think 
we'll do our pumpkin activities until the following week.  So, please send 
your pumpkins and the bottom half of the note (with weight and place 
purchased) by Wednesday, October 28th.  Anytime before that is fine, too.

Thank you!  I hope you have a wonderful week!

It's field trip time!  A note is coming home today in BEAR binders.  This 
will give you all the details.  We'd love to have you as a chaperone!  If you 
decide to chaperone, you do not have to send any money in advance for 
yourself.  You will be able to buy your lunch and canal ride once we get to 
Bricktown.  We'll have a ton of fun!

Book orders are due this Friday.  You can fill out your order form and send 
it to school with a check.  You can also order online now.  I will place the 
order Friday after school.

We have a math test tomorrow morning!  Your child does not have homework, but 
it would be a good idea to look over the math review with them.  You may want 
to quiz them over similar questions.  The test mostly covers addition, 
rounding, and estimating.

We're just moving right along in 3rd grade.  I can't believe it's nearly 
October!!!  Progress reports will come out this Wednesday, and report cards 
will come home after Fall Break.

I hope all is well on your end!

Have a wonderful week!

Good Morning!  Can you believe we're already halfway through the first nine 
weeks?!  Time flies!

This week is a BUSY week!  We have started centers this week.  Each student 
has visited 4 of their 7 centers.  (There are actually 8 rotations, but each 
student visits IRC twice.)  Remember to have your child show you what they've 
accomplished each day.  However, they have to bring back their folders the 
next day.  We work on centers Monday - Thursday and do a folder check on 
Friday.  Once centers are finished (usually not until the 2nd week), students 
will move them from the left pocket in their folder to the right pocket.  
This will help keep them organized.  Questions about centers?  Look at the 
Literacy Center Checklist in the yellow folder.  If you're still not sure, 
send me an email!

Highlights order forms are due this Friday.  Please send them whether you're 
ordering or not.

The October book order will be coming home soon.  Please do not order your 
child "Horrible Harry and the Dead Letters."  I will be ordering them that 
book for their Halloween present.

AR goals need to be reached by Fall Break (October 14th).  I still have some 
students who have not taken any AR tests.  Please make sure your child is 
reading each night for 20 minutes.  They get 15-20 minutes of DEAR time here 
each day.  Plus, "Free Read" is a center this week.  They have lots of 
opportunities to take tests!  I'll send an update on AR points next week.

I hope you all have a great week!  Hopefully we will see some sunshine soon!

Good Afternoon!  I hope that you had a great day!  It has been a busy week!  
Here are a few reminders before our extra long weekend!

*I just wanted to remind you that tonight is Parent Night.  I hope that you 
will be able to attend one of the sessions.  If not, I understand, and I will 
send home a handbook with your child tomorrow.

*Remember there is no school on Monday.

*Ident-a-Kid will be at our school next Wednesday if you want to take 
advantage of that.  Notes came home in BEAR binders today.

*Next Tuesday, the 3rd grade teachers have decided against watching the 
President’s video.  If you would like to view the video at home the district 
has provided a link for that on the main website.

*We are going to have an extra long Rendezvous on Tuesday to kick off Jog-a-
thon and Family Fun Night.  Please be on the look out for notes detailing 
those two events.

*I will not be here tomorrow, and I don't know when I'll have a chance to 
check my email.  I'll respond to any questions as soon as possible!

*ONE MORE THING – We are celebrating Grandparents Day at Rose Union next 
Friday.  3rd grade will have a designated time for visits from those special 
people in our lives.  I will let you know more about that day soon.

I hope you all enjoy your Labor Day weekend!

I hope everyone has enjoyed their weekend!  The weather has been awesome.  My 
husband and I spent some time here at school this weekend rebuilding the wall 
ball court.  My kids last year LOVED playing wall ball at recess.  In fact, 
they played so much that the wall just finally gave out.  Hopefully, this 
will provide another fun activity for the kids at recess!

I was very proud of how well everyone did on their spelling contract this 
week!  The first week is usually a little rough, but the students will learn 
quickly what they need to get done and will learn to manage their time well 
in class to avoid working at home.  If you're still unsure about spelling, we 
will talk about it (and all other curriculum) at Back to School Night.

Speaking of Back to School Night, it will be held this Thursday evening from 
6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.  All the 3rd grade teachers will present together in 
one classroom.  Due to space issues, we are asking for parents who have 
students in Mrs. Crabtree's class and Mrs. Ganjanathavat's class to come to 
the early session (6:30-7:15), and Mrs. Sevier's and Miss Rowell's parents to 
come to the late session (7:30 - 8:15).  We realize that some of you may not 
be able to come at the specified time.  If you can't, please come when you 
can.  We'd like everyone to be here!

I will not be at school this Friday.  I hate to miss school so early in the 
year, but I have to attend my cousin's wedding in Houston.  Please make sure 
you remind your child to be on their best behavior on Friday (and 
everyday)! :)  I'm a little anxious with it being so early in the year.  
Thank you!

I hope you have a fantastic week!

Mrs. Sevier

Happy Friday!  I hope your children had a wonderful first week of school.  
I'm guessing they're about as worn out as I am!  It always takes a week or 
two to get back into the groove!  Next week we will start on curriculum 
(which most of the kids have been asking for all week) and that will help!

A book order note came home today in BEAR binders.  It is due back by next 
Friday.  There was something I forgot to mention on the book order note.  
There is a Scholastic Children's Dictionary for sale (I think it's $10).  
It's the same one we use in our classroom.  During the 2nd and 4th nine 
weeks, your child will be using those dictionaries to write definitions of 
their spelling words.  It may be beneficial to buy and keep one at home.  
That way, if they ever have to work on their definitions at home they'll have 
the same dictionary.  It's not a requirement, just a suggestion!

One more thing . . . I will begin sending out a weekly newsletter on Monday.  
I'll include what we're doing in class all week, dates and reminders, snack 
schedule, and specials schedule (so you know when to have your child wear 
tennis shoes). If for some reason your newsletter doesn't make it home just 
let me know, and I'll email you a copy.

Thanks for everything!  Have a wonderful weekend!

It was so nice to meet each of you today.  I hope you are looking forward to 
tomorrow as much as I am.  Please come straight to the room tomorrow and 
Wednesday.  Beginning on Thursday, you will go outside to the playground if 
the weather is nice or the gym if it is too cold or rainy.  We will have 
Rendezvous every Monday and Friday starting next week.

I'm sure you have lots of other questions to ask about third grade!  
Hopefully, we will get them all answered this week.

Get a good night's sleep and I will see you in the morning!!

Mrs. Sevier

Sunday, August 16

Welcome to 3rd grade!  I can't wait to meet you on Monday morning.  Please 
bring your supplies if you have purchased them.  If you ordered through the 
school your supplies will be waiting for you.  Enjoy your last day of summer 
vacation!!
