January 30th-February 3rd, 2012

The Lamborghinis are wrapping up their research of Georgia regions and the plants and animals that live in each region. We will learn about informational writing, and begin our written reports in class next week. Some students have asked if they could bring in a poster or pics on a power point (saved on a flashdrive) to go with their information. I am not requiring that, but students who want to work on that as a home activity may bring it in Monday, Feb.6th to share.

Have a wonderful weekend. Hopefully it will be full of sunshine !!

January 23rd-27th, 2012

 The class is off to a busy 2012 with research, reading, and arithematic.  I told the class that I am raising the bar as we progress toward the end of the year. My expectations for them are higher for the last half of third grade as the Lamborghinis race toward the finish line!

Don't forget Movie Night tonight at the school. It will be fun to join friends to watch movies, and support MUST Ministeries at the same time. Time: 7-9 PM.

As we approach cold and flu season ( which hopefully will pass us by quietly), we need to replenish our tissues. If anyone would like to donate a box of tissues to the class, we would greatly appreciate it!

I am attaching the newsletter and the spelling words for the coming week. You may print the words for the students.

 

Have a great weekend!

ITBS and CogAT Test Scores Are In

We have received third grade CogAT and ITBS scores.  ITBS score reports will be distributed in sealed envrlopes on 12/9/11, the vendor does not distribute individual score reports for students/parents for the CogAT.  If you would like a copy of your child's CogAT scores, please contact you child's teacher.

The CogAT measures reasoning and problem-solving skills in three different areas: verbal, quantitative, and nonverbal. Reasoning skills develop gradually throughout a person’s lifetime and at different rates for different individuals. Reasoning abilities are good predictors of success in school and are important outcomes of good schooling.   More questions?  Please download the following reference form with Frequently Asked Questions.  Download FAQ CogAT

The Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS) is a nationally standardized, norm-referenced test (NRT). A nationally standardized test is a test is administered to each test-taker in the same way across a specified comparison group (e.g., age groups, grade groups, etc.). Therefore, score interpretations are based on a comparison of the test taker’s performance to the performance of other students in the nation who took the same test in the same manner at the same time of year.  More questions?  Please download the following reference form with Frequently Asked Questions.    Download FAQ ITBS

School News:

Parents,

Please consider taking a Holiday Bear from the bulletin board in the lobby and buying a gift card.  If you are unable to get to school to take a Bear, just stop by Walmart, Publix, or Kroger and purchase a card and send it to school with your child.  Your child's teacher will pass it along to one of the counselors who will make sure it reaches one of our families in need this holiday season.  If you are able, your contribution would be appreciated by Thursday, December 15.

Thank you

The School Counselors

 

 

 

 **Important information will be coming home in the Friday Folders this week. In a sealed envelope, you will find the ITBS scores that arrived. Also, there is a field trip permission slip for an in-house field trip on Dec. 19th. Please sign and return it as soon as possible.
