    Dear Fabulous 3rd Graders and Parents, 

    1 HAPPY JUNE!  Hello Summer!   Our end of the year slide show is under STUDENT RESOURCES. Enjoy!  

    Please note: Our classroom rules and expectations are still in full effect.  This time of year is known to be difficult for many. Many think school is over. Our high expectations and modeled expections are STILL MODELED DAILY. The firm, yet age  appropriate rules help everyone stay safe.   

    The next two weeks will be centered around many hands on learning games, centers,  and read alouds. During independent reading, we continue to test your child 1-1 on their final reading level in 3rd grade. 

    1 We will be having a SUMMER SUNDAE SENDOFF on Friday, June 14th 1:15-2:15 in our classroom. All are welcome! Please RSVP by June 6th.

We greatly appreciate you in helping us make learning fun and memorable!

      Reminder:  Your child should be going on XTRA MATH 3-4 times a week.  Every Sunday, I receive an email of who has been going on.  This is part of your child's homework. Your child will receive a SHOUT OUT if your child goes on at least 3 days a week for the WHOLE SESSION.  Partial sessions will not be awarded a SHOUTOUT.  Thank you so much for helping your child become a stronger mathematician!

     

    1 PLEASE NOTE: Lunchboxes are expected to be kept with your child at THEIR side or in front of them.  If your child is seen using his/her lunchbox for anything other than keeping lunch in, he/she will lose the privilege of bringing it to lunch with them.  They will be given a bag which can be thrown out, to be proactive.  I will contact you, so you know, should this be the case for your child. I appreciate your support in helping our students learn responsibility and making safe choices.
