~Our Stars~

Star Students are chosen by classmates.  Students secretively email me a name of one student each week that they believe show characteristics of STAR Students. Some things we look for are: respect, kindness, support, caring, helpful, thoughtful, understanding and many more! 

Happy Birthday to You Ashlynn

Enjoy everyday of being 9! 

"Whoooo" ate that for dinner?

During Creative Arts Fridays, our class got to dissect Owl pellets with Mr. Maloy.  What an experience! Please ask your child to tell you all about their discoveries.  

 

Happy Birthday Damon and Landon!

A pinch to grow an inch, a sock to grow a block...

Happy, Happy Birthday Brandon~

May your next year be filled with smiles! 

Happy President's Day!

 

In Room 4, we have been watching videos from "Kid President" that teach us about character.  It has inspired our classroom to choose "STARS" of the week.  These students are chosen by their classmates.  It is an experience that is very humbling, watching eight and nine year-olds carefully select a student that they feel is a "STAR" to others. 

The process of selecting our STARS is confidential (private).  Each student emails me a name and a reason why they have selected that classmate to be the STAR of the week.  Some things we look for are:

*honest                   *respect                     *fair

 

*generous          *inspirational         *giving           *helpful       *caring

 

*friendly       *thoughtful       *kind

Thank you, for your support!

3rd grade is a huge academic adjustment from second grade for your child.  They go from "learning to read" to "reading to learn."  It is their first year experiencing the rigorous state testing, OAKS. We still have one more week to go, but your child's Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd Grade teachers have given them words of encouragement as they go through this process.  Thank you Rocky Heights for caring for each child, whether they are in your classroom or not. Students, we are proud of you!
