Book Order

Our October book order went home this week.  Please place your orders online by October 17th.  Thank you!

Questions to ask your child

Each week, I will try to post a few specific questions that you can ask your child about school.  Many parents say that when they ask their child about their day they often have a vague response.  Hopefully, a more specific question about what we are working on in class will help to engage them in conversation.  These questions can be found under the Questions to Ask Your Child tab.

Compliments, compliments, compliments!

Today was a great day in 3L! Our class received so many compliments for being safe, respectful, and responsible.  Way to go 3L for showing expected behaviors!

We can't thank Lisa from Dana Farber enough for taking the time to come to our class today! We learned a ton about red and white blood cells, chemotherapy, side effects, and the importance of keeping germs away.

Back to School Program from the

Dana Farber Children’s Hospital Cancer Center

October 3, 2016

Dear Parents,

As some of you may already know, one of your child’s classmates, Adyson Lavallee, has been diagnosed with cancer and has been out of school due to treatment.  Ady was diagnosed in October of 2015 and her treatment will continue until the fall of 2017.

In order to help concerned or interested students understand Ady’s illness and treatment, we have invited members of the Back to School Program from the Dana Farber Children’s Hospital Cancer Center to speak to your child’s class on Tuesday, October 4, 2016, at 9:10AM.  Through discussion, and other resources, they can help educate students and other school personnel about cancer and cancer treatment so that they may be more sensitive to what Ady is going through.

We would also want to take this opportunity to remind you not to send your child to school if he/she is running a fever or has any kind of communicable illness such as the chicken pox. Not only could this be potentially harmful to other students in the classroom, but Ady is much more susceptible to infection due to her treatment.

If you have any questions or need further information, please feel free to contact me.

This Week in 3L

This week, we will be reading Beauty and the Beast.  We will be having a reading assessment as well as a spelling test on Friday.  Our chapter two math test is also planned for this week.

Growth Mindsets!
