Renaissance Home Connect


As you all know, we use a program at school called Renaissance Place.  We use this program for AR, STAR testing, and Math Facts in a Flash.  This program now has a feature called Renaissance Home Connect, which you can access outside of school with any computer that has internet connection. It is fun and easy to use.  It allows you to access information about your child’s progress in Accelerated Reader. It even has a feature where you can receive emails showing your student’s quiz or test results. 

To try Renaissance Home Connect click this link and use the username and password your child was given last week.  (This maybe different from his/her username and password at school.)

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

100th Day of School


Happy 100th Day of School!!

Can you believe we have been in third grade for 100 days?? We only have 73 days left in third grade! Wow! This year really is going by fast!!

We celebrated being 100 days smarter by writing about what we think we will be like when we are 100 years old.  Then we made pictures of what we think we will look like when we are 100 years old.
