ASSIGNMENT NOTEBOOK
Please see and sign your child's assignment notebook every night.  Students are rewarded with Fun Friday time for completed work and signed notebooks.  The message box is a great place for us to communicate.  Look for upcoming tests and due dates for projects on this page, too!

GRADED PAPERS
Graded papers will come home every Friday attached to my weekly classroom newsletter. Any classwork below 75% that your child corrects over the weekend must be returned on Mondays for re-grading. Keep in mind that I will only re-grade classwork, and I will only re-grade it once. If you see "Parent Signature" on one of your child's papers, I would like you to sign the page and have your child return it on Monday.

Third graders are allowed to check out two library books and keep them for two weeks. Please help your child store these books in a safe place at home. Encourage him/her to read every evening and use the due date slip to know when to return them.

SRI
The Scholastic " Reading Counts" program is designed to increase reading motivation and improve student comprehension. Students can choose books to read at individual lexile levels which are determined by the Scholastic Reading Inventory (SRI) computer test that they take quarterly. The third grade lexile range is 500-800. This is where third graders should be reading. Students with lower lexiles are reading below grade level expectations. Students with higher lexiles are reading above grade level expectations.
