New Assembly Video

This is the video that we shared with the school this morning.  The kids made this "comic book" last Friday.  It deals with how to handle a bully.  This is something that the kids, unfortunately, have to deal with often.  This is National Bully Prevention Month.  Here is the website to tell you a little more about it.  This Wednesday we are going to wear orange to show that we are trying to prevent bullying.

Enjoy!

Morning Assembly

Today we have an exciting entry into our blog.  As many of you know, the State MCA Test results came out last week.  We were all a little disappointed to learn that Salem Hills did not make its Annual Yearly Progress.  When we looked more closely at the results we saw that the students at Salem Hills did VERY well.  We improved in every area but one and even there we showed tons of progress.  As teachers we were very excited to see how far the kids came in one year and we wanted to thank them for all the work they put in.  Last year Ms. Newton challenged the kids to pass in all areas.  She said that if they did then she would get up in front of the school and do a "Happy Dance".  Here is what the kids were "treated"to this morning at our assembly.

This is the video that Mrs. Westra's class did for the assembly.  They worked really hard on it and it turned out great!  They taught us about how to be respectful, responsible and safe in the cafeteria.

Making Connections

Yesterday we read a story called Butterfly Flutter By. We tried to find connections in the book. Here is a picture to look at the connections that we wrote. Here are some examples. "I look for a butterfly, I celebrate for the butterflies,I don't give up finding a butterfly."

Vocabulary for 9-28-11

We are going to start posting short videos that show what we do here in school.  We know that sometimes the way we do things seem a little strange, especially when the students come home and try to explain how we did something that day.  This happens most in Math.  Today we took a simple lesson that we do a couple days a week in vocabulary.  Hope it helps!

Calendar for this Week

Monday--We had an assembly led by Mrs. Steel's class.  They talked about how to stay safe at recess.    We researched about whales on the laptops today.  Ask your third grader about it.



Thursday will be picture day.  The third graders in room 24 will be at 9:30.  Ms. G's class will go at 10:30.

Friday we will be tie dying t-shirts.  Make sure kids dress for doing a project like this.  It can be messy.
Spelling test will be this day too. Keep practicing.
