Back on Track

Hello 3rd grade families! Hope you are all enjoying the extra hour and beautiful weather. I sure needed it after the week of Halloween. A big thank-you to all of the parents who helped get the Halloween party off to a nice start. The kids had a great time and it seemed like we had just the right activities for them.

The Spectra Arts teacher, Christopher, has been coming into our classroom once a week to work on drama with the students. His last day with our class is Wednesday, November 16. He thought it would be nice to invite the parents to a short performance on that day. If you can make it, please come from 10:00-10:55. The kids would love to share their talent with you.

I was also thinking about having a Thanksgiving potluck on Friday, November 18, beginning around 11:00 with the students. Since we are sort of a family (we do spend a lot of time together), I thought it would be a nice way to acknowledge our thanks to one another. What are your ideas?

Upcoming events:
1. We'll have 1 more book order before Winter Break.
2. Students should have the 4's memorized by now and should be learning the 6's for multiplication.

Reminders:
Library day is every Tuesday morning for our class. Many students are forgetting to bring in their books. Please remind them at home. Also, it is important to keep the Literature Circle books in a safe place so they do not get lost. Homework packets are being turned in without names. Make sure your child writes their name on each page of the packet.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
