Be on the Lookout…
- Please return white school folders and signed report card envelopes (remove the report card itself)
- Next Tuesday, April 21st we will celebrate all our hard work in becoming multiplication masters! We have had lots of students reach the ultimate goal and even reach beyond, Let’s finish strong! Thank you Margaux’s mom and Connor’s mom for offering to set up and scoop and Thank you for helping our class have an amazing celebration!
- Mark your calendars! On April 28th, Oakview will host the Spring Fling which features the 3rd grade Food Truck Rodeo! If you have not already, please fill out this RSVP form ASAP!
- As we approach EOG’s, I try to amp up the review with incentives and motivators. As you can imagine, this gets expensive. If you are able, I’d appreciate your support in supplying some needed materials and rewards to get us to the finish line. This will be my last request of this school year. Thank you. word-motivate
- Beginning last Friday, students will bring home three reading passages each week, due the following Friday. This gives students a full week to complete their work at a pace that fits your family’s schedule. The goal of completing three passages in ONE sitting is to help build reading stamina. On the actual EOG, students will need to maintain focus across six passages, making this an important step in preparation. When planning time at home, please choose a consistent block of about 1–1.5 hours where your child can work with minimal distractions. Students are expected to apply the PARTY strategy we have been practicing in class. A sample is included in their new tracker in their agenda. Each Friday morning during arrival, I will review and grade the passages so students can update their trackers, set goals, and celebrate their progress. While I encourage students to work as independently as possible, it is okay to step in if they become stuck or lose confidence. The goal is for them to build problem-solving skills, as they will complete the EOG independently.
