Announcements


I hope everyone can join us for Get the Scoop Night on September 4th at 6:30! This is a night to hear/see more about the 3rd grade and ask any questions you may have. We will begin in the gym and then head up to the classrooms. 

We only have 2 spots left to fill for our Fall Party on October 26! (Healthy snack and craft) Please use this link to sign up.


The Comet Carnival is quickly approaching! Be on the lookout for lots of information about this fun event on October 12. Each class is in charge of a basket for the silent auction. Our theme is "Dog Lovers." If you are out and about shopping this weekend, feel free to pick up items for the basket and send them in. 

Our Fall Fundraiser kicked off this week with an assembly on Monday! Check out our new Paxton Keeley mascot!

In the Classroom

In math this week, students delved deeper into telling time. We worked on being precise by telling time to the nearest minute. We also learned strategies to find elapsed time. Students completed a lesson where they found out how long our morning was. I loved seeing all of the wonderful strategies!

In writing, students finished their classmate interviews. We will have the book on display at Get the Scoop Night next week. We also started talking about our writer's notebooks. They can't wait to start filling them next week.

In reading, we studied how some books have a theme the author is trying to convey. We also learned how to use text evidence when answering questions about what we read. We will begin reading responses next week.

In social studies this week, students learned about rights and responsibilities citizens have in Columbia. We also identified local and community leaders.
