We reached our first marble goal!!!

Our class earns marbles for great behavior and effort. The students have been doing a wonderful job and already reached their first goal of 40 marbles.

To celebrate reaching their goal, the class voted on a reward. The majority vote went to wearing pajamas and bringing in a small stuffed animal. We will celebrate on Friday 9/9. Students may wear school appropriate pajamas if they want. No Slippers please! They can also bring a small stuffed animal to school for snack and recess time.

Thanks and Congratulations to the class!!!

Mrs. Chisholm :)

Thank you all for the school supplies. Usually these supplies last us a very long time. I will let you know if we need more of anything at any point in the year. Thanks again for your kindness and generosity.

Just a few reminders…..

Lincoln Street School is a wonderful place to be and I am glad you will be here with me. This year we will be learning about so many different topics including Immigration, The Solar System, Biomes, Maps and Globes, Black Americans, and Native Americans. We will also focus on learning our multiplication and division facts. I’m looking forward to working with you and enjoying our third grade year together!

You are welcome to bring in the supplies at our “Meet the Teacher” event before school starts. Please contact me with any questions.
