Homework - Students came home with the their homework for next week today.  Students expressed that they liked having the homework over the weekend. We did not get a chance to take the spelling pre-test, so I told students that they were all taking the regular test.  However, if they want to also take the challenge list after, all students are welcome too.  

AR Tests - Today I challenged the students to take as many AR tests as they can over the next 2 weeks.  We are currently in 2nd place for the most test taken by a class in 3rd grade, with 778.  I also went over the amount of words students have read.  We have 1 student who has already read 1 million words.  I challenged more students to read to see if they could reach 1 million words too.  

Twin Day - Monday, June 5th - Students can dress as a twin with another student in the class.  Some students asked if they could be a twins with a stuffed animal, which would be okay with me.

Beach Day - Thursday, June 8th - Students may bring in a beach towel, sunglasses, beach hat, etc (no bathing suits). This is a great way to be “shining and positive” for testing.
