A Peek at Next Week!
What a wonderful week in 3rd grade! The students worked hard on comparing numbers on number lines, finding character traits in their Just Right books, learning about how plants disperse their seeds, and the major river systems that are in South Carolina. We also had Picture Day. It has been a wonderful week! As you look over the events of next week, please do not hesitate to email me with questions.
Thanks! -Mrs. Holley

Interim Grades and Signed Papers
Interims: I hope you received my email about interim grades. For the first quarter, interim grades are posted online through Parent Portal. Please look up your child's progress on Parent Portal. *Please remember, there are not a lot of grades for the first part of the year. We have been working on procedures, The 7 Habits, and team building.
Signed Papers: In your child's Boomerang Folder, you will find a few pieces of graded work. Please look over your child's work, sign each assignment, and return them in the folder. The students will start keeping track of their grades in their Data Notebooks. They will work on goal setting and become more responsible for their learning.

Parent Teacher Conferences
I am looking forward to meeting with all of you during Parent Teacher conferences on Thursday, September 26. Please refer to the email sent this evening for available times and processes for requesting a conference time.
