Week 1/week 2 Spelling List


These are the words for next Friday, September 7th.  Even though it is the second week of school, we will consider this week 1 for our weekly spelling tests.  The sheet I will send home on 8/29 will also include 4 dictation sentences.  At this point, I will not be grading these sentences, but showing errors.  Your child will be asked for correct their mistakes, if any.  Later, once students are used to it, I will begin to grade them.  I will make you, as well as them, aware of when they will be graded.

Fabulous First Day!!!

Hello 3rd graders and parents!  I just want to say how I am impressed with you all!  We have such a bright and caring group of kids.  Everyone had such great manners and patience today.  One of our activities was sitting in a large circle and telling about ourselves.  It was so neat to hear about your family, summer, and favorite thing we did today.  For the most part, everyone was polite and patient, waiting their turn to speak.  Tomorrow we will delving into workbooks in grammar, spelling, and possibly math.  We will also be writing about our summer.  This will be just a draft or cold write.  I look forward to reading all of them!  Tomorrow I will also be handing out the spelling list for week 1/week 2.  I am combining the weeks because they are both short.  The test will be on Friday, September 7th.  See you tomorrow:)  Mrs. Austin
