Our First Day!

What a great first day!  We did a lot of first day routines and procedures today including unpacking, getting to know you activities, creating classroom management guidelines, and exploring our classroom.

In addition, students worked in collaborative groups to create a mission statement for our class.  In doing so, this gives the kids an awareness of our purpose here at school.  Here's what we came up with:  "We are the third grade Riverside Beavers.  We are here to learn, respect our peers, and make new friends.  We will work hard to get good grades and excel in the 2014-2015 school year."

Homework:

• Read 20 minutes.
• "Bag it!" Activity

Reminders:

• Coming home with each child tonight is a Parent Survey, I'd so appreciate any information given to help support your child this year. This is due back this Friday, August 29.
• If you missed Open House night, please check your child's Take Home Folder for important information about this year.

Classroom Supplies:

• Please aim to have all back to school supplies by this Friday.

Thank you,

Ms. Smith
