Welcome To 3B! Mrs. Bloss' Class

Spread the Good News!

This week will be our 100th day of school. How can that be? So much to celebrate in February! We started with Catholic Schools Week. We are also recognizing Black History Month with some of our classroom read aloud stories. It is Heart Healthy month as well and we will share the love of Valentine's Day on the 14th. Several students are so close to the 100 yard line on our reading charts. I am so proud of them embracing a love of reading.

 

 We don't always take time for DEAR time during the day at school, so thank you, parents for encouraging so much reading at home.

***********************************

Our school wide theme for the 2011-2012 school year is "Spread the Good News!" It is a great reminder of our mission statement goal to live in the light of Christ's teachings.  

Third grade is full of adventures! It is a time of tremendous growth and memorable milestones! This is the year we will develop our cursive penmanship, master the times tables, become more proficient writers, readers, grow closer to the Lord...and so much more!

By the way, a parent recently told me that he was able to download an App for flashcards on his daughter's i-pod. If your son or daughter is lucky enough to have one of those, consider looking into that App.

 

I believe all children can achieve!  The teacher’s role is to find and develop the best environment for the student's achievement.  The best classrooms have an eclectic approach that responds to the individual and the group.  The teacher is to inspire a love of learning and be a catalyst to discovering independent, life-long learning.  The teacher has a responsibility to help instill values and virtues of respect, perseverance, and kindness.  The classroom teacher has a partnership with the family and whole school community to promote the healthy development of the student’s mind, spirit, body and intellect.  I am honored to be called teacher.  - Ann Bloss
