Third Grade Tracks, Dec. 5th-9th

Wow! This week has been full of lots of fun and excitement.  We began the week in research in the library with Mrs. Watts.  The students made some awesome Padlets about different countries.  This week we also got to celebrate Perfect Attendance with Lunch and a Video in the classroom. The students enjoyed Frosty the Snowman and conversation.  Our goal is to reach PERFECT ATTENDANCE faster the next time.  This one took us longer than 9-weeks to get.  Students earn this each day we have ALL students present!  The students also enjoyed “Hour of Coding” in the computer labs this week.  Be sure to ask them about what they were building! This week was an honor for me as I was surprised with a very prestige award.  On Tuesday night, I was given the PTA Life Membership Award.  It was a great honor accepting this award and I know it is because of the awesome Huebner Community that I received this.  Thank you to all of you for making each day a great day to come to work. I hope that everyone has a wonderful weekend! Stay warm! Cordially, Mrs. Hidalgo...

Third Grade Tracks, December 5th-9th

Wow, what an amazing week back!  It just excites me when the kids are motivated and excited to learn!  We have been busy learning multiplication,  using skip counting and repeated addition to solve problems.  The students have also been busy writing expository drafts.  They are persuading and telling the rest of us why we should like or do something they believe in.  Again, so proud of them and their willingness to learn and try new things. This week we finally made our “Perfect Attendance” award.  So next Wednesday, December 7th we will have lunch and a movie in the classroom.  Our goal is to make our perfect attendance award quicker this next time.  No absences and no tardies get us 1 step closer each day to the reward. As your child is sharing what they have learned this week, be sure to ask them about the continents and oceans and how they are going to remember the 7 continents and 4 oceans.  They had fun learning an acronym and way to remember these important landmarks. I hope that your Thanksgiving holiday break was relaxing and peaceful!  We are nearing the end of the 2nd 9-weeks so be sure to be checking your child’s binder and the Parent Portal for information on missing assignments and grades.  As always, please contact me with any questions. Have a nice weekend! Hopefully it won’t be as rainy and cold as they are predicting! Cordially, Mrs....
