Welcome to the Third Grade edition of Ford Tough! I take a lot of pictures in the classroom and would really like a place to post them so that you, the parent and student, can see what we are doing every week! I also really enjoy blogging and have my own personal blog so I thought this would be fun. If you have an email account you, the parent or the student, can post comments as well. I can't guarantee when I will read them but I will do my best! One of my goals as a teacher is to have something we did in class become dinner conversation. Often times we sit down to dinner ask our children, "How was school today?" and their answer is, "Fine." Then we proceed to say, "Did you learn anything new?" and they say, "No." I want my students to come home and be excited about at least one thing they learned and then proceed to share that with their family. This is a way that conversation can begin!
Last week we took a lot of Benchmarks. We took Reading on Tuesday, Writing on Wednesday and Social Studies on Thursday! Your children did VERY well on the Reading and I was so proud of them! Way to go!
