Wow! What a fantastic start to our first day. It was so fun to have our first day of third grade together, even mine. It was an exciting one, but it went WAY too fast.
The students learned a LOT of procedures and attended health and library today. We have library on day 1 at 9:15. Please help the students return their books on time each week. We also started our focus on friendship and learning what it takes to work together. We did a few getting to know you activities so the students could start to get to know one another on a more personal level deepening their friendships, building trust and promoting respect.
I will be sending home a school calendar with all our important dates and information on it. So please watch for it to come home soon.
Here are a few important notes from the first day:
- Students need to bring a snack every day. J
- 3rd graders are now part of student council. Everyone in our class has an opportunity at it. An informational sheet was sent home today along with the form. They need a recommendation from a community member and they need to write a short essay on why they would be a great fit and what makes them a good leader. These are due on August 30th and we will be presenting them in front of our class for those that choose to participate. We will then pick 2 student council leaders from our class.
That is it for today.
Until another day…
Mrs. Farkas
