Thank you to all who were able to make it to Back to School Night! I know it's a big time commitment, especially in the middle of the week with so many other activities going on, and I really appreciate it!
I really enjoyed meeting all of you and I hope that you have a better idea of what third grade will entail. Please count on it being more challenging than second, but hopefully very rewarding as you see your child progress throughout the year!
If you still have any forms left to return in the Back to School Night folder, please send them in!
We had our first Fruit and Vegetable Friday last week and we tried white nectarines! They got a 5-star rating from every student in the class. This is my personal favorite fruit (and one of the reasons why I love summer so much!) and I love it when they're crispy.
For Fruit and Vegetable Friday, each student starts with a small taste (bite-sized). Everyone waits for the whole class to be served, and we describe its look and feel. Then we take a bite and describe the taste! The writing journals the kids have out are for their observations, rating, and a picture. By the end of the year, I'm hoping each student will have discovered a few new fresh items they love! 
Quick announcement--we found out this morning that all of third grade will have 40 minutes in the computer lab every Friday! If your child can practice typing at home, or playing any computer/iPad educational game, that will help as we prepare for the SBAC (new Common Core testing, replacing the STAR test) in May!
