Parents:


I thought I should quick mention that my sign up genius is through my husbands name because I used the same one as I have had in the past as a parent.  So when you see Greg Wyma inviting you to a sign up--it is really me.  It is on my weekend lit to do.

Thank you Erin

Good Evening Parents:

I have updated our classroom newsletter of what we did last week as well as added some new pictures. We are having a wonderful time learning together in 3rd grade.

I was constantly reminded this weekend of God's Creation--

     I saw HIM in the beauty of the changing seasons,
     I saw HIM in the beauty of children playing,
     I saw HIM in the beauty of people worshiping together,
     I saw HIM in the beauty of families enjoying one another,
     I saw HIM in the beauty of friends caring for each other,
     I saw HIM in the beauty of the rain coming down,

   For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

Colossians 1:16

I hope you have all had a wonderful weekend enjoying HIS creation.  I am looking forward to seeing your children tomorrow morning.

Good Morning 3rd Grade Families:

I hope that you have had a most wonderful weekend ending in enjoying the Sabbath Rest.  I have updated the classroom newsletter so you know what learning happened in our classroom last week. Your children did an amazing job with it being our first 5 day school week.

Thank you to Liz's mom for coming in to help cover our writers notebook.

Also, your child may have told you that we have a high school student helping in our classroom every morning from 8:00-8:40.  Her name is Darby Yoder and I taught with her mom for the last 10 years while I was in Holland Public.  They are a wonderful family.  Darby is doing this as a placement for high school credits and because she is thinking that she might want to be a teacher eventually.  She comes in and helps me by doing laminating...cutting...copying... and then she sits and joins us for our devotions.

Raphie has "ALL ABOUT ME BAG" Monday and then we will pass it off to Miss Yoder to do and then after her turn, we will go to Jon.

This week Nathan, Jackson, and Jacob had "All About Me" bag.  The rest of our pictures are just a few during reading workshop where students are working with words or reading.

Have a beautiful day!!

PARENT VOLUNTEER

I am in need of a parent or two who would be willing and able to come into school at some point this week to help cover our writer's notebooks.  If you are able and willing please e-mail me or respond to this post.

Thank you  Erin

OOPS!!!

Good Afternoon 3rd Grade Families:


I just realized, as I converted my classroom newsletter to a word document that, WOW--a few spelling mistakes.  My apologies, I did not know that if you are on this blogger they will not just show up as they do on a word document underlined with red if they are spelled incorrectly.  I did not know that I have to go through and choose to do that.  I just figured all was spelled correctly as I did not see those little red lines.

Live and learn I guess!!!

Next time I hope to do much better and remember to hit the spell check before I publish--thanks for your patience.

Tell your children that I can not wait to see them tomorrow morning!!

Erin

It has been another great week of learning.  We are really starting to get into a typical routine which is wonderful that it has happened so fast.  I am including some pictures of our reading/writing workshop as well as some of our science experiments.  Please check out the classroom newsletter tab as it has been updated and you can see what we have done in each area of our content.

Thank you for coming to the parent information night.  Please feel free as the year gets going to email any questions or concerns about anything that you might have.

Next week we will start reading minutes...word work(spelling)...bringing homework home.

ONE REQUEST:  I am looking for a parent to come in next week at anytime other than 10:15-11:00 to cover our writers notebooks with contact paper.  If you are willing, please email me at ewyma@hollandchristian.org.

Larissa did the "All About Me" bag this week.
