Hello!  Thank you for visiting our classroom blog. 

Please join our class on Monday, November 18^th at 10:45.  Our science lab will be open to parents to celebrate American Education Week.  Be ready to experiment and learn about electricity!

The Scholastic Book store is open at Eagle during this week.  Please see the hand out sent home with your child.  I see some terrific titles for sale this year.

Also, next week, the students will participate in the Eagle Turkey Trot. On Friday, November 22, we will walk over to the high school and have some fun running on their track! (Please see the flyer in your child's binder). Parents are welcome.  Come join us and cheer on the kiddos!

Our first narrative writing piece is published!  Thank you for your help with this huge task.  The students are so proud of their work.

Please visit TTL4.  I will try to attach the letter sent home at Open House.  It includes the code needed for the initial log in.

Thank you for all you do to support your child. 

Week of November 5

Week of November 5

November is a busy and exciting time for our 3^rd graders.  On the 4^th our grade presented a slide show at the Respect and Responsibility Assembly.  Ms. Suhrhoff, our wonderful guidance counselor, asked us if we could show the school how we behave responsibly now that we are mature 3^rd graders.  They did an excellent job and received many compliments.

In November, the children start gathering and discussing current event articles from the newspaper and internet.  We will begin this activity in class, and then the students will be responsible for bringing in one article a month to share with the class.  I will give each child an assigned date and a letter with further directions.

Also in November:

Þ   Nov. 5, Eagle’s Silent Auction

Þ   Nov. 18-22,  American Education Week and Scholastic Book Fair

Þ   Nov. 27-29,  Thanksgiving Break

Parents are invited to our “Science Lab” on Monday, November 18 at 10:45 for American Education Week.  We will work together to conduct experiments with electricity.  Come join the fun!

Thank you for reading and signing your child’s reading log.  I appreciate your support with this important work.

Enjoy your week!

Welcome!

Welcome to our class blog! I am looking forward to meeting you on the first day of school.  Enjoy the remaining days of summer!

You are invited to be

a partner in your child’s education.

Stay-Tuned:  Ask your child what he or she is studying, and look in the homework binder every night.  The homework binder is where you will find the newsletters and notes that are sent home, as well as any homework that needs to be completed.  My weekly email will help you keep up with important happenings in our classroom.  I will also send home progress reports or make phone calls if I feel that your child is not progressing as expected.

Ask Questions:  If you have any concerns or are wondering why something is happening, please feel free to call or email me at any time.  I welcome all concerns, ideas, and feedback that affect your child or our classroom.   If something is not working, I am more than willing to talk.  

Homework:  You should expect that your child will have some type of homework most everyday.  You will always find the homework assignments written on an assignment log that is kept in the daily homework binder.  It will go home everyday.  I encourage you to set up with your child a scheduled time for homework each day.   Students should be able to do most assignments independently, but do help if necessary.  If you notice that your child is not able to do an assignment on his or her own, please send a note or jot a note to me on the assignment.  We will contact you if your child is falling behind or turning in poor work. 

Snack:  All students may bring a nutritious snack and a bottle of water to school everyday.  We eat lunch after recess at 1:15 each day. Please also give me a heads up at least a day ahead of time if your child is planning to bring a treat for his or her birthday 

Our Schedule:  

Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday

Sincerely,

Leslie Obermayer
