Reading 20 minutes a day will help you maintain your reading level!  Read for fun! Read to learn!  Have a great summer full of great books!

I hope you had a great summer!  I definitely did.  I spent four days in Brian Head, UT over the 4th of July.  They had an awesome fireworks show!  Then I went to Indiana to visit my mom, brother, cousins, and their families.  We also went to Kentucky to visit my sister.  While I was in Vegas, I spent a lot of time reading books and swimming in the pool.  What did you do this summer?

Upcoming events:

Open House is August 27th from 4-6 p.m.  Come in and take a peek at your seat!

The first day of school is August 30.  I am looking forward to meeting my new batch of third graders.  Outside our classroom is a display of welcome letters written by third graders form the last two years.

September 8 – Skate Night at the Crystal Palace.

September 16 – PTA meeting at 3:30

September 27 – Progress reports go home!

Students who read over the summer come back to school ready to learn.  Students should read both silently and aloud over the summer.  Students who maintain or improve their reading fluency score will be entered into a contest to win a laptop computer!

April 12 – Progress reports go home

April 14 – Skate Night at Crystal Palace

April 16 – Lunch on the Lawn

April 19 – Cookie Dough Fundraiser ends

The cookie dough fundraiser kicks off on Friday, April 9!  Sell as much as you can to earn fabulous prizes!  If every student sold at least one item, this fundraiser would be a HUGE success!

On Thursday, I said good-bye to an awesome group of 3rd graders!  I will miss having every single one of them in my class!  Have a great summer!  Post a message here to tell me what you are doing this summer! I would love to hear from you.  Don’t forget to read! 

In the story Boomtown, Amanda made more money selling pies than her father did mining for gold. She then convinced other people to start businesses and helped turn her boring town into a boom town.  If you moved to Amanda’s town, what business would you start?  Write a topic sentence telling what your business would be.  (Think about what you are good and and what you like to do. Think about what the town needed.)  Then write three sentences giving details about how and why you would start that business. Finally, don’t forget to wrap it up with a closing sentence!

Write at least one paragraph telling the world what you would do if you were the principal of your school!
