Welcome to Third Grade!

Welcome to Mrs. Mouser and Mrs. Macat's third grade blog.  We are so excited to start this new school year and get to know your child.  We use this blog as a communication tool between school and home.  Instead of sending weekly newsletters we will put all of that information on this blog.  Anything regarding homework and due dates, upcoming events, important notes, etc. will be updated weekly to keep you informed.  Along with the day to day housekeeping information we will also use the blog to show you what we are doing in classroom.  You will get to see and hear all about what is going on at school.

Not only will we update the blog but throughout the year, your child will have the opportunity to do so as well.  We want you to hear from them about the things they are learning and experiencing in the classroom.  They get very excited about the cool new things they are doing and love sharing that with their family.

Please feel free to comment on posts that you read.  We love getting feedback and hearing from you, the parent. 

 Thank you for sharing your child with us and we look forward to meeting you on Thursday, August 23rd from 4:00-6:30.

 

Dogs and Digits

Last night was Dogs and Digits!! This was the 3rd annual Family Math Night at BES!! We had a great turn out and served over 300 hot dogs :) Thank you parents for bringing your child and playing math games. We hope you had an amazing time :) A big thank you our sponsors, Sonic, Bluebell Icecream, BES PTO, and Cheryl Liere Life and Health! Also, we want to thank all of our wonderful staff members who put games together, helped last night, and who brought cookies and cupcakes! Our teacher of the year, Mrs. Felder, was dressed as the hot dog and had a smile on her face the whole time :) Thank you!
 

Dear Parents,

For the next 2 weeks we will be working on an Animal Research paper in reading.  Each student has chosen an animal that interests them.  Each day we will do a little more work on completing our paper.  The students will be given plenty of time here at school to complete their project.  However, I did tell them that if they would like to do more research while at home that will be perfectly fine.  Once we have completed the research we will begin to create our written reports. For the presentation of our projects each student will create a Voki (an animated character).  Once the Voki's have been created they will be posted to the blog for parents to view and enjoy.

Now that the STAAR test is over we are able to do some fun, educational activities such as the research project.  The students seem to be very excited to use the netbooks and learn about different animals.

Lions, Tigers, & Bears Oh My!

A few weeks ago BES 3rd grade went on a field trip to the Houston Zoo! We had a blast! Check it out!

End of the 5th Six Weeks

 This week marks the end of the 5th Six Weeks.  It's hard to believe that in only 6 1/2 weeks we will begin our Summer vacation. 

We are down to the wire and STAAR is just around the corner.  It is important to make sure that your child is at school every day and on time.  These last couple weeks we are reviewing and preparing to take the test.  Make sure that your child is getting an adequate amount of sleep each night and eating a good nutritious breakfast.  We need the students to be able to give us their best each day they are here and after the tests we will be able to celebrate our success with some fun activities and field trips.  Thank you for all that you do to help your child at home.  We appreciate all that you do!!




 

Reminder:Animal Parade

Dear Parents,

Don't forget to come watch our Animal Parade tomorrow morning as we march around the entire school!! It's going to be wild!!!! Parents can be seated in the cafeteria/gym area. You will see everything from birds to lions :) Don't miss out on this adventure!



  

Field Trip Date Change

 Due to a conflict in dates with the Houston Zoo we have moved our field trip from Wednesday, March 28th to Monday, March 26th.  Please make sure that you send your child's $8 by this Friday so that we can purchase our tickets.  We will leave school at 8:30 and return by 5:00.  Make sure to arrange for your child to be picked up that afternoon when we return to school.  If you are planning to go along with us to the zoo please let Mrs. Macat or Mrs. Mouser know ahead of time so that we can plan accordingly.  Adult tickets are $13.  All students must ride the bus to the zoo but they may ride home with you.
