Drum roll please.....
I know that you have all been anxiously awaiting the announcement of who will be the long term sub for Ms. Cone. As you know these are big shoes to fill. Ha! :)
We spent the past 2 weeks interviewing for just the "right fit" for my classroom and our 3rd grade team. We have a name and a face! Her name is Carly Smith and she is a recent graduate from Texas A&M. She did her student teaching in the Fall at Curtsinger Elementary in 4th grade.
She was able to come in today and meet the kiddos and see a little bit about Anderson and more specifically our class. She will be spending more time with us in the weeks to come so that we will have a smooth transition. I feel confident that Miss Smith will do a wonderful job and your kids will grow to love and respect her as they do with me.
I have 8 weeks until these baby girls come and we're hoping that they stay put until its time. I will not be returning after Spring Break if they have not come before then, so I can prepare and rest until their arrival.
If you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact me.

More than half way!
We just celebrated our 2nd 9wks grading period! Woo Hoo!
Remember to be practicing those multiplication Facts with your child at home. Make it a game or something fun to do.
My favorite "Quote of the Week":
"Ms. Cone, My brother and I agree that your belly looks like a beach ball!"
I love it! The kids crack me up!
Have a great weekend! Stay warm!

Happy New Year!
I can't believe that we are almost halfway through our school year! You have an awesome almost 4th grader! :)
We are really working hard and showing more responsibility. Hopefully this will help out at home too! Everyone in our class has a weekly job and they are great at helping our classroom run smoothly.
This week we are studying seeds and how they help our environment.
In Math we are working on fractions.
In Reading we are learning about why an author might write a story. Ask your child about how PIE can help them. :)
In Writing we're learned about how to stay on topic.
We are collecting Newspapers, so before you recycle them at home, have your child bring them to school for a grade level project.

Practice, practice, practice
We are taking some time this week to practice the TAKS test. This is first time that your kiddo will be taking this kind of test, so we are starting off with really focusing on using their strategies that we go over daily. We use the scores as a guidline for us with specific skills, but we still have a lot to learn. Ask your child about the specific strategies that we use in Math and in Reading. They should be able to teach you something new and make themselves feel good about teaching you something.
Math- We use UPS check
Reading- We use BDA (stoplight)
Please email me if you would like me to email you a copy of what we use, so you are familiar with our strategies.

Rolling right along!
We have a had a great start to our year! Thanks to all who have visited our blog.
Something new....
We are starting Study Island. Today the students were given their log in information.
If they forget it is their: lunchnumber@anderson password is: birthday (mmddyy)
They are to complete a 20 question test by Friday.
We also started guided reading! Its one of my favorite things! I get to meet with each of my groups and talk about the books that they read. Each week they will get a lesson plan. The lesson plan lets them know everything that they have to do for the week. I check the reading folders daily and meet with them as often as I can. So, be on the lookout for these two things specifically this week.
Make it a great day!
