My son found a Monarch butterfly caterpillar so my husband and I found some milkweed for it munch on. We will be watching it at school to see if we have a beautiful butterfly soon. Keep your fingers crossed.
Homework: Spelling and Reading Logs are due Tuesday because no school on Monday! My math class had a Drops In The Bucket sheet.
I was going to introduce cursive today but quickly realized only a few students had previously been taught how to write cursive so I am backing way up and we will start over with different practice sheets. They are excited to learn. Remember, muscles have memory and they will need to practice the letters correctly.
I forgot about store so it is rescheduled until Wednesday because I forgot that I had a doctor's appointment scheduled for tomorrow. The positive side is they have an opportunity to earn more bucks.
Our goal: we are working on side conversations when the direction is no talking. Several staff members have reported that we are being to noisy. We can do it! They are a great bunch of children.

Wow! Everyone gets "LUNCH BUNCH" on Friday for turning in their Reading Logs. Let's do it again next week. Remember your Reading Log and Spelling Homework are due on Monday. Give them a big hug and kiss for a job well done! They probably owe you one too for all your help.
Look for your Wednesday folders. They were chucked full of information today.
We had a bus safety assembly today. The children got to meet Buster! He is a mechanical school bus that teaches us about how to be safe on and around the school bus.
We have started our Daily Review sheets. These are for morning work and once they get the hang of the type questions asked, can be completed quickly. We provided spelling homework this week and the test will be on Monday.
Next week I will add cursive handwriting. I think they love it or hate it. We have been talking about building our stamina and that our muscles have memory. This is why it is important to practice our school work and after school activities.
We also do calendar every morning and there is a sheet to go along with that program. I have introduced it to them but we may not get to it daily.
Paw Prints will go home on Friday, along with a copy of my blog, and a snack calendar. Please write a short note back on the back of their letter.
We will have store to spend Bulldog bucks earned on Monday, the last day of the week. I hope this will encourage them to earn lots more.
The third grade team has set AR goals for 10 points per child. A letter was sent home providing instructions so that you can monitor their progress.
If you child is a student for Ms. Ream, she will start pulling them out on Monday mornings. I don't expect them to make up work that they have missed because they should be working hard for her.
