Thank you to those who were able to come as reading parents last week. If you have signed up please come in this week. This times are 8:50 - 9:30 Tuesday through Friday. I have assigned students to those who signed up. If things have changed and you can no longer come in please let me know so I can adjust the students.

I am sending home our first book order from Scholastic. If you choose to order books for your child please have your order in by this Friday, September 17. Remember that you need only make out one check to Scholastic. I can not send in cash. Sorry.

Spelling:

rocket, pocket, hold, told, often, grow, throne, so, sew, most, almost, both, coach, open, also

Vocabulary:

castaway: a person who is stranded on a desert island
inhospitable: unfriendly and impolite to guests
jocular: full of jokes and good humor
vocation: a job, especially one for which a person is well suited

Vocabulary is new, starting this week. We will have four new words every week with a test on Friday. They do not have to spell the words, just know the meanings.

Remember tonight is the big back to school bash. Please come have fun and support our school.

In the folders today there is a PTA fundraiser 1/2 sheet yellow paper. Please read it over. There is also a color contest page.

Remember we have homework Monday through Thursday and reading 25 minutes every school night.

Thanks for all you do at home to make third grade a positive experience for your child.
