hank you for checking into what we are doing the first 7 days of school. We are currently in the process of developing an understanding and appreciation of each other, as well establishing the way that we do things in our classroom. Academically, our focus is on reviewing key concepts from second grade in order to be prepared for the third grade material. The following is a quick overview:
Team Building: Morning Meetings (greet each other with eye contact and friendly voices, games such as "Zoom"), personal scavenger hunt
Social Studies: Know Thyself (list of favorite things, Overall Me poster)
Math: games to review and solidify value of numbers and problem solving (Three Strikes: number version of hangman, 99 Card Game: each card has a value, the goal is to have the center pile total 99, Pyramid I Spy Game: cards that combine together to make 10), paperwork to evaluate each student's knowledge of math
Writing: review why people write, Mine My Heart (words/pictures of people and things that are close to our hearts), free write and write for specific purpose in journals
Reading: set up routines for our new reading series named "Wonders", begin Charlotte's Web
Art: Coencentric Pattern Circles
Science: Clay Float
Homework for the week: Bring pictures from home of things that you love (this will be used, read 15 minutes daily)

The Start of School
Welcome to our blog and the beginning of school! This will be a place to find all sorts of information that you need, and to start with, here are some things that you will need to know:
1. We will have a Sandstone Meet and Greet on Wednesday, Aug. 24 from 3:30-4:30. This time is set aside for families to meet the teachers, see the classroom, and bring school supplies. During this time, third-graders and their families will be organizing supplies and preparing for the first day of school. I will also have some forms for you to fill out regarding a few house-keeping things. If you are unable to make it to school during this time, please call me (281-6934) or email me (urbaniakw@billingsschools.org). I would love to schedule a time to meet that works best. It makes our first day so much easier, and I am excited to see everybody's smiling faces.
2. School starts on Thursday, Aug. 25 at 8:20. We, the teachers, will be outside at 8:00 a.m. Please look for the "3" on the fence, and you will see the third-grade teachers with our signs with our names.
3. Schools dismisses at 2:25. We will meet families on the east side of the building.
Thank you!
