Tomorrow is Pajama/Gold Attire Day to benefit Gold in September for pediatric cancer. Along with the special attire, we are also encouraging students to bring $1 to support this fantastic cause and their mission to raise awareness and inspire action for childhood cancer initiatives. Feel free to visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgVpnjev79Q to see why NFL quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, holds this charity so close to his heart. We watched this video today during class in order to prepare for tomorrow.

Today we celebrated positive behaviors students exhibited throughout August at our star values celebration. The Prospect Heights Fire Department came to celebrate with us too! Click the picture below to see our class in action! 1. This week I learned how to classify animals.
2. The second thing that I learned was how to use a venn diagram. Don't forget there is no school tomorrow! Enjoy the beautiful weather!
Hip Hip Hooray! Today we learned all about the Google Drive! Students sign in using their student account. We created a document and learned how to "share" it digitally.
Today we practiced our Daily 5 writing skills. We have added a bunch of fun writing activities to Daily 5. We also discussed our Daily 5 writing portfolio that we will compile throughout the school year.
Parents- Please send your child's picture form back ASAP. This form went home last week. Forms are due no later than Thursday, September 25th. Thank you for your help with this.
Today we learned what makes up a "third grade" paragraph. Your child will be bringing home (on Friday) a sheet of notebook paper with a writing sample that we did today. The paper will have sentences underlined in different colors. The colors signify different required parts of a paragraph. We will be practicing writing a proper paragraph together several times before students are expected to do it independently. As a member of the Teaching Learning and Technology Committee I am excited to incorporate technology in the classroom; but it is always important to remember "technology does not improve learning, improved teaching improves learning".
Are you looking for a fun way to practice spelling words? Check out Spelling City. All you need to do is search "Mariconda" under the teacher search box. You will find all of our spelling words. Enjoy! :)
