February and March - Phoebe

Phoebe's snowman project below was displayed in the school hallways and then at the district wide art fair.

Phoebe brought home this "I'm a CRANKY Monster" project that she did last fall.  It had been hanging in the hallways for others to see.  She did a great job with this funny project.  She wrote, "There are many things that make me cranky.  My brother and sister make me cranky because they sing all the time.  Folding laundry makes me cranky because it takes so long.  My cats make me cranky when they run away.  Waking up in the morning makes me cranky because I am still super tired.  Being cranky is not fun."

What are your some of your favorite things to take in your lunch?
Phoebe: Cookies, Honey Buns, juice bags, yogurt covered raisins

What is your favorite special so far this year and why?
Phoebe: PE because it is easy.  We run and play games like tag, fruit basket, stuck in the mud, and fox tail.

Phoebe is an excellent student!  She was recognized with a positive office referral in February.  Her teacher said this, "Phoebe works really hard at home and school on her A.R.  She has already reached 100% of her A.R. goal for the school year.  She is an outstanding student.  She shows respect to her teachers and classmates, and always has a great attitude."

During Technology her class has been working on typing.  See her typing example below.

For Valentine's Day she and I made an Owl Valentine box.  (We used a tall cereal box.)  Each student in her class made a box at home and brought it to school for the Valentine card exchange.  They got to stand up and share their box in front of the classroom if they wanted and tell about how they made it.

She continues to do well in math and reading.  She is in the high level group with several of her peers in her grade level.  She works hard to complete assignments at school and homework in the evenings.

She studies her spelling words at school during the week and at home with us.  Great job on your spelling tests, Phoebe!

She completed an Economy project at school.

It was a great 3rd nine weeks report card again for Phoebe!

What is something that you enjoy/like about your classroom this year?
Phoebe: I like that I have some of my friends in my classroom.  I like that I get to eat lunch with my teacher sometimes.

She started in our school's Girls On The Run group in February.  They meet after school two nights a week to work on a lesson and run together.  She has really enjoyed this group of girls, making new friends, and running longer and longer distances.  I can tell she is getting to be a stronger runner and is enjoying the thrill of pushing herself to greater distances and faster times.  Below, the 2019 GOTR group - Phoebe is standing on the right in a light blue, flowered, long-sleeved shirt.
