Video News!

Here is our first video newsletter of the year! We plan to make one weekly (or almost weekly) to show what we were up to that week! These kids crack me up, we had so much fun making it! We hope you enjoy it too. :)

October Newsletter

Happy Saturday! In your child's Friday folder you should have received my October newsletter! I've decided to try and do a monthly newsletter for extra communication about what's happening at school. Hopefully you've signed up for Remind text messages and will continue to check the blog on a regular basis, but this will just be one added way. It will come home with your child in their Friday folder, and then I will also have it posted on our blog under the upcoming dates and events tab.

Wow!

Thank you for supporting our Challenger Book Fair last week! Did you know that all the money raised at the book fair goes right back to books for our classrooms? Thanks to parents and community members, we got 43 new books for our classroom! Wow! THANK YOU!!!

Look how excited they are for me to pass them out!

We loved reading our NEW books today!

Prowler Pride

In 3rd grade we are so lucky, because we participate in a program called Prowler Pride. On Friday's, a team/club/organization from Lincoln comes to Challenger to share about their program. They tell us what they love about it, how important it is to be involved in different things, and how important it is to be a good student. And they only come to 3rd grade! This is who's visited us so far:

Some members of the Prowler Band

The two Prowler Cross Country captains.

Members of the Prowler Girls' Swimming Team

 We got to show our Prowler Pride at the Homecoming Parade! It was a blast and a beautiful day!

A Month In!

We are a month into our 3rd grade year already! I can't believe it, time is sure flying by! Also, I can't believe I haven't posted to our blog yet. I promise that I do it more often than this! It's been a crazy beginning of the year!

Here's a few things we've been up to so far. We spent a lot of time the first few weeks sharing bags, playing games, playing outside, and learning as much as we can about each other.

We were so excited to start reading, we read on the very first day! We've been reading rock stars ever since!

Don't we look cute on our first day of 3rd grade?! :)
