Open Mic Fridays

We’re excited to announce Open Mic Fridays in 3C!  This is an opportunity for students to showcase their fluent reading by getting up in front of an audience with a microphone and reading aloud a short story or poem.

Open Mic Fridays will take place on Friday afternoons from 2:00-2:30. Individual students will sign up, practice, and be ready to share in front of an audience. We invite you to join us, especially if your child is reading! If your child has signed up to read, you will receive a special invitation from him or her to join us.

Our first Open Mic Friday will be next Friday, November 22.

We hope that you will attend and we thank you for your support at home.

The Week in Review

At the end of each week our class takes some time to reflect on what was learned, what went well, what problems we may have had and how we solved them. We call this "The Week in Review." Individual students complete a one page reflection paper that contains sentence starters to help guide them in their responses. Please look for this paper at the end of each school week, and use them to talk with your child about his/her learning. Pay close attention to your child's goal for the coming week, and check in with during the next week to see how he/she is working toward achieving this goal.  Allowing time to reflect and discuss each week strengthens our classroom community and deepens our academic understanding. Thank you for supporting "The Week in Review."
