General Announcements: 
The third grade team is shifting expectations of book reports in the spirit of organization and preparation for rigor of 4th grade. Students will still have 3 book reports due each quarter but the reports will be in a new format and there will now be due dates for each of them. Book reports will now be worth 20 points each. Please keep in mind with the new due date procedure that typical homework procedure and late policy will apply. If your students has not finished their book when the book report due date approaches he or she may complete the book report based on what they have read so far. Please reach out to me with any questions you many have.
