Building Stamina

The reading workshop is in full swing and we have started building stamina in our reading - reading for longer and longer and longer. Today our maximum stamina was 14 minutes which was pretty impressive for day 6 of school! Way to go third graders - every day I am more impressed!

Starting next week there will be math homework as well as regular classroom homework so be on the lookout for BOTH pieces of homework every night. We are working on making sure things are written in the planners every day so that we are staying organized as much as possible and can remember what we are supposed to do at home for homework. Next week we will also start our spelling! YAY! :) Later this week I will be sending home a more detailed newsletter in paper form as well as on our class site that will allow you to better understand how spelling will work for your third grader. They will need your help at home and I will post the lists on our site in case those pesky words go missing like they sometimes do! :)

Great job again today Room 15! See you tomorrow, homework in hand! :)
