Hello parents! This Friday is our field trip to the Museum of Natural History in Santa Cruz. This week, I will introduce the Ohlone Indians to the class so they become familiar with the native people who once lived in this area. The museum has a lot of Native American artifacts for the kids to see. If you are a chaperone, please be sure that your group is respecting and following the rules, especially when there are fragile items involved. Sometimes the kids need to be reminded that you are in charge as their chaperone. I believe that we will have 2 docents, so the class will be split in half. I will send out the green chaperone forms either Monday or Tuesday to those of you who would like to join us. If anyone has some extra blankets to bring, we will be eating our lunch on the grass near the museum. We also have some art projects coming up, so if anyone has any string or round butter containers, please send them in with your child.
HOMEWORK:
This week there will be no weekly packet. The 3rd grade classes will be taking the Theme 1 SCOOE test for Houghton Mifflin. So, the only homework they will have is their literature circle job and excel math. Please make sure that your child completes their reading assignment for the week as they will be sharing with their group. This kind of sharing is good for the students and when their job is not done, they feel left out.
Thanks for all you do!
