Today we went to the gym and we talked about anti-bullying rules. And then we played outside and it was like field day. (Amaya)

Finally, I'm back in NC. My son was married last Sat. and I got back to Asheville Mon. evening. I'm so happy to be back with my class.

I hope you can join us for the ice cream social tonight. It will be held on the big playground - please bring a picnic and enjoy!

Today was the kick-off for the OLWEUS anti-bullying program. We had a formal class meeting, attended an assembly, and met with our first grade buddies. I've included several pictures.



Day 4
Hi this is Ainsley we started science and it was so fun so was reading workshop.

Day 3
today was a rough day (Ashton). (Video didn't work. Math and recess at different times. - Mrs. Gregg). Math was fun - we used cubes to solve problems (Ashton). Handwriting was fun, too (Ashton). Have a great weekend!

Day 2
Hi this is Sofia today we did readig work shop. It was really fun .Today we got two letters.Six off the chart that is really good for the second day.Today in math we worked on adding. =Great First Day!= We had a great first day of school. It began uniquely - an unexpected fire drill (unplanned) at the tardy bell. These 3rd graders showed their maturity and modeled excellent, safe behavior.

Students also attended their first Spanish class, and it was a success. Ms. Dominguez was so impressed with our children. Later, Mrs. Dechant saw them in the hall and complimented them on their quiet, straight line. We are now on "P" in earning a popcorn party. Check with your child about what the class has to do to #|earn letters.

We discussed class rules, set up a #|homework folder (check out the "interactive" calendar in the folder, to see what type of day your child had), and began our first Investigations unit. A letter will be coming home tomorrow to let you know what we'll be doing.

PLEASE, return ALL #|completed forms by Friday. Thanks!!! = = =Welcome to Third Grade!= Hello! I am Mrs. Gregg and this year is the start of my seventeenth year teaching at Claxton! I live in Asheville with my brother Patrick and cat Tinkerbelle. I have one son, Matthew, who lives in Denver, CO. He will be getting married to Krista this month.

I tell lots of stories about when I was a girl, playing outside on the White Oak River with my brother Pat and cousin Dirk. I also tell stories about my son when he was little. We use these stories to help us write shared stories.

I love to read and hike easy trails. Last summer I hiked in Rocky Mountain National Park and came face-to-face with a mama moose and her baby! It was too cool! I also love visiting family on the coast of North Carolina. I am very excited to work with all of you this year. If you ever have questions, you can email me at virginia.gregg@asheville.k12.nc.us, call my classroom, 350-6557, or call me at home, 253-3802 (no calls after 9:00pm please). I look forward to seeing you all! Mrs. Gregg
