Hello Families!

We have been working so hard to prepare for our upcoming MCAs! Our class will take the Reading MCA during the week of April 20th. We will test each day starting promptly at 8 am. Our Math MCA will be during the week of April 27th, at the same 8 am start time. We will not have homework during these weeks in an effort to make sure all students are able to focus on the test and not feel stressed about completing other work. Please try to make sure students are getting especially good sleep each night. We'll try to be sure each student grabs a breakfast from the cafeteria on their way to class. Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have. I'm excited to see how much growth our class has made! 

Hello Families!

I hope you all had a relaxing weekend. Here's a snapshot of what we'll be working on this week:

In Math we'll work on adding and subtracting up to 3-digit numbers, sometimes with regrouping. We'll also start to learn about how to round 2 numbers in order to get an estimate.

In Language Arts we are going to keep going with noun review and we'll get into identifying the meaning of certain prefixes. We'll also start our first writing piece of the year as we work to form opinions about going to the Moon.

Speaking of the Moon, we'll be starting to look at how it changes each night as we learn about the phases of the Moon in Science.

In Social Studies, we'll be getting more in depth about rural, suburban and urban communities. 

I am looking forward to a great week in our classroom. Please reach out with any questions or concerns.

Hello Families!

I can't believe we're already starting our third week of school! This week we are going to be staying busy.

In Math we are going to practice some strategies for adding and subtracting 3-digit numbers, and we'll get into how to use fact families to help with some bigger numbers. We'll also keep going with what we did over the last couple of weeks with rounding to help us make some estimates.

In Language Arts we are going to be reading some more folk tales and fables to help us learn about character traits. We'll also get into some work with nouns, compound words and sequencing a story. This week we'll have our first spelling test. Words will go home on Monday and we'll take a test on Friday. While we will spend some time practicing the words at school, my hope is that students will practice the words at home as well.

In Science we'll continue to learn about the Moon, & Sun. We'll learn more about shadows and start to observe how the Moon changes a bit each day.

In Social Studies, we will keep learning about communities, what makes them successful and the different types of communities people live in. 

I will continue to call families to make sure the year is off to a good start for everyone, but if you have questions, feel free to reach out either by phone or email. 

Thanks and have a great week!

Hello Athlos Families!

I hope you all had a wonderful summer! I am excited to get started with our school year and see all the growth our students will make! I am also looking forward to meeting many of you at our Back to School event. For anyone unable to attend, I will send home any info with your student on the first day of school. 

We will ease into the school year with some introductions of each other, getting to know the classroom and learning about routines and expectations. We will also begin with some easy homework during the first week of school, just to get students ready for 3rd grade life. 

This webpage is where I will post things like spelling lists, reminders about upcoming events at school, as well as a general outline of what we are working on during each week. 

I look forward to getting to know you and working together to ensure the best year possible for your student. 

Let's have a great year!

-Mrs. Huberty
