We made it to the end of the first week of school!  The students took a written memory quiz and spelling test, which are corrected and being brought home today.  I did not grade them, but next week I will start grading!  In Social Studies, we went over the different parts of a map:  compass rose, title, map key, and distance scale.  The students practiced using a distance scale to estimate the distance between two locations.  In Reading, the class took the comprehension quiz over Officer Buckle and Gloria.  After the third graders had their first P.E. class, we finished up some of the tasks we started this week and then had a little free time.  It's been fun seeing the students connecting with each other, especially with the new students to Bethlehem! 

The third graders are bringing home a September calendar to fill out for P.E.  They are supposed to record the activities they do each day, how many minutes, and how they felt afterward.
Just a reminder that book choices for the first book projects are due Wednesday.  When it comes time for your child to make their project, make sure to read over the directions for the specific project with your child so that they understand what is expected to receive full points for it. 

I hope everyone has a great Labor Day Weekend!
