Week of September 22-26 -- Spirit Week

In honor of Homecoming, Bath Elementary will be participating in Spirit Week and will have a daily theme.
Monday -- Pajama and Crazy Hair Day
Tuesday -- Team Day
Wednesday -- Color Day (3rd graders wear ORANGE)
Thursday -- Mis-match Day
Friday -- Blue and White Day

This week we are reading an informational text called, Whose Habitat Is It? (Unit 1, Week 3)  Students are identifying the Main Idea and Supporting Details. The spelling words this week follow the long a pattern. Students will learn that the spelling pattern is different when the /a/ sound appears in the middle of the word or at the end of the word. In grammar, students will learn about subjects and predicates.  They will see that sentences need to have a WHO or WHAT (subject) and an ACTION (predicate). 

We are continuing with NWEA testing this week and will use the results of the beginning of the year tests (DIBELS, Running Records, MAP, etc) to help us set goals for third grade. Students will learn to set personal learning goals using the acronym SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, time bound). You'll hear more about the SMART goals at Parent Teacher Conferences in October.

Popcorn Day is Wednesday -- 50 cents for a bag of tasty popcorn!

Last call for the school fundraiser.  Please send in the forms on Monday.  Thank you for participating and supporting programing at Bath Elementary.
