Thank you for sharing your children with us this year. Thank you for the countless ways you have supported their education. It has been an honor and a privilege to have taught each of them. It has been an honor and a privilege to see each of them learn and grow. We often speak of third grade as a transition year - this class has transitioned well! We are proud of the progress that they have made. We have truly enjoyed this year.
Thank you!
Ms. Warnes and Mrs. Jarrell
Due to changes in our teacher website format, we will not be able to send "newsflash" emails each time the website is updated. The new website format will be in place after June 12th.
SUMMER OPPORTUNITIES!
Sign up and participate in Summerfest:
Your child can register any time between now and June 22. Please register your child by going to www.letterpals.org, click on the Parents Sign Up tab, and enter the requested information along with the classroom identification number. Email mail me and I will send the identification number to you. Thank you for registering your child.
Aid to children vocabulary builder:
At Aid To Children http://www.aidtochildren.com/ visitors choose a synonym for the vocabulary word shown. Each correct answer progresses to more difficult vocabulary. For every correct answer, the site donates .25 cents (that's a quarter of a penny) to the children in the most impoverished places around the world. You can track your child’s progress and graph how your child is helping feed hungry children.
Math facts:
I can not over emphasize the importance of keeping those math facts fresh. PLEASE use the links on this website, or any of Parsley's teachers' websites, to practice your math facts. Students who had their math facts memorized clearly had an easier time with the EOGs and with the complex questions that were asked on the test. Catching up and keeping up with those skills will be critical as your child prepares for 4th grade!
Battle of the Books:
A list of the 2009-2010 Battle of the Books titles will soon be posted on Parsley's website. There are many terrific books on this list!
