        The first week of school has almost come and gone! What a fun and exciting week we have
had in 3rd grade!
        Our days have been filled with getting to know one another and building strong
relationships within our classrooms and grade level. The students had a great time learning about
and using the iPads! They are excited to use them again! From scavenger hunts to birthday
graphs, we have been finding out a lot about our fellow classmates.
        We will continue to use a Thursday Folder for all of Puster’s important announcements.
This year they are orange with a Leopard on the front. Please help remind your child to return
them each Friday. It is also important to check your child’s red take home folder daily along with
initialing their student planner.
        We hope that this week has been just as special for your child as it has been for us! We
are looking forward to the many adventures and the great year ahead in 3rd grade!
