Friday, December 4th, 2015 Day 6
Good Morning,
Welcome to 3rd grade! Thank you so much for helping me out today. Below are the
plans for the afternoon. Third grade is very flexible, so dont feel like you have to get
everything done within my plans. There is a white bin on my circle table that has all the
materials you will need for this afternoon. If you have any questions or concerns some
helpful students to ask would be Bret, Brooklyn, and Erica. I have two students to keep
an eye on. Aiden seeks attention and blurts a lot. A couple of reminders to stay on task
and raise his hand should help him out. Caleb gets angry easily, and he has a stress ball on
my desk to help calm him down. Both are very good students and mean well, but if you
have any problems please contact Mrs. Owen next door.
Thanks,
Miss. Dohmen
