Field Day Fun

Field Day at HHE was a huge success! While it was really hot, we played it very cool. Our class participated in many events, including Tug of War, Obstacle Course, Over-Under Relay, Jump Rope Relay, and the 80-yard Dash. Our class won the Jump Rope Relay in speedy fashion while our girls running in the 80-yard Dash took second and third places. We're a fast group! 

Goal Getters!

Accelerated Reader is a huge part of reading in third grade! Students are able to check-out books from the school library that are perfectly suited for them. The books are leveled based on fluency and interest Each quarter, students are assigned a point goal to work towards before the end of the grading period. The point goal is based on the students reading for 30 minutes each day. They are also expected to maintain an 85% average score on the comprehension tests.

At the conclusion of the first quarter, two students had met their point goals and maintained an 85% average or higher. Alexa and Andres read tons of books. Andres actually earned 30 points!

Congratulations! I am looking forward to even more students meeting their reading goals at the end of the second quarter.
