Mrs. Saxon's 3rd Grade Class | R.B. Hunt Elementary School

November 28th – December 2nd

Posted on December 2, 2022 by Meghan Saxon

A Sign-up Genius was sent out on Monday for our Holiday Luncheon. I am also requesting $3 from each student by 12/15 (Venmo or cash) to purchase pizza for lunch on the afternoon of December 20th. Thank you so much for making this a special time for your child!

Feeling crafty? I am looking for 2 or 3 parent volunteers that would be interested in providing a holiday craft to work on with students during our craft rotation on December 20th. I plan to have an ornament making station for my block. Crafts would need to be completed in 30 minutes to get through all rotations and volunteers would need to provide all materials. Let me know if you are interested! I appreciate your help BIG time!

Our class voted on the theme of “Saxon Sweet Treats” for our tree in the Festival of Trees PTAO event. Please help make this happen! We have a mini tree we need to decorate. Here are a few ideas to help make our class tree a success:

small battery-powered lights
mini candy or ice cream ornaments
gift card to Rita’s, MayDay, Coneheads, Kilwin’s, Savannah Sweets, Whetstone, etc. ($5 or $10)

Thank you for your help! All items are due by Monday, 12/12. Fingers crossed one of our students will be a winner of one of these awesome trees!

Thank you for being honest and sincere this week!

Important Dates:

12/7: F.A.S.T math testing – make sure your child gets a good nights rest and encourage them to try their best!

12/15: $3 cash due for pizza

12/17: Breakfast with Santa

We are halfway through 2nd quarter. Can you believe it?! Did you check your child’s interim report on HAC? Are they 50% or more toward their A.R. goal with a minimum of 85% accuracy? If not, I have some ideas of what you can do over break! 😉

Check HAC and your child’s progress on A.R. weekly. Help hold them accountable for their class grades, A.R. points, and percentage correct in A.R. Making education a priority in your home will have a positive impact on their academic career. No homework on the weekends – enjoy this beautiful weather!

Please double check your child’s math homework to make sure they are on the right track. The homework is a review of concepts we have gone over in class – it will not be anything new. If they are really stuck on a problem, skip it and I will go over it in the morning. I appreciate your help!

Academics:

ELA: Author’s Purpose

Math: Area and Perimeter

Fall Festival is tonight! I hope to see you there. Thank you for helping make our face painting booth a success! 🙂

Next Friday, October 28th, is our school Character Parade.

Please have your child come to school dressed in their costume with a change of clothes. No masks or SCARY costumes permitted.

The parade begins around 8:35. The students will parade around the bus loop by grade level. Make sure you have turned in your blue slip to receive your pre-printed badge if you plan to join us.

A sign-up genius was sent out for our Fall Party on October 28th. Students will still have a normal lunch break that day – these are just some fun snacks for the afternoon. 🙂 Please make sure everything is store bought and not homemade. Thank you for your contributions!

Don’t forget iknowit is a GREAT resource to use at home to practice multiplication facts. If your child is struggling with division homework, I would encourage you to help them memorize their multiplication facts. I have added “multiplication fluency” to their individual assignments on iknowit. Students know username and password. The link for this program can be found on the R.B. Hunt student links page.
