3rd Grade Buzz 🐝

We’ve wrapped up our very first full week of school, and what a buzz-worthy week it’s been! The kids are settling into our routines, building our hive community, and showing so much excitement for learning. We’re off to a sweet start, and we couldn’t “bee” more proud of the effort, kindness, and positivity we've seen already!

🌟 Shout Outs
Every Thursday (during a full week of school), two students in each elementary class and one student in each encore class will be recognized with a Shout Out Award. These awards celebrate the golden qualities of our students—things like effort, respect, cooperation, and accountability. Just like bees in a hive, every child’s unique strengths make our community stronger. Many times, this recognition helps students notice those special qualities in themselves that they might not have realized before.

🔬 STEM Friday
Fridays are extra buzzing with excitement! Students who complete their classwork and 8 Lexia units and 10 DreamBox lessons during the week will get to join in on STEM Friday. This is a hands-on, collaborative time where kids get to explore, build, and create with STEM materials. During the week, students have designated class time and WIN Time to work toward this goal, so everyone has the chance to reach it.

We are so excited to keep buzzing along as a hive—growing, learning, and celebrating together. It’s going to “bee” an amazing year full of growth, reflection, and discovery!
