Dear Parents and Students in Room 36:

Welcome to our class website.

Upcoming Events: 
12/20 at 8:30 am Vacation to Mars Play.

Animal Reports:

The animal reports were fantastic.  Everyone did a great job and learned a lot from listening to each other's presentations.

I invite you to visit the websites with your children and explore a whole new virtual learning world at www.tech4scholars.com. One resource provides an opportunity to read books and take online quizzes.  It is not the AR system, but it is very similar and can offer additional practice in comprehension test taking based on specific books: www.readingadventure.com. Welcome to third grade in Room 36!

Regards, 
Dr. Shute
