Last Week! June 1-4, 2010

Can't believe this is it, our last week of school. Where did the year go!?

Being the final week of 3rd grade, there's not much as far as academics go. On Tuesday, students will have their last Spanish class in the morning, turn in their Literature Circle job and book (we are still missing a few books, please look around your house this weekend),and have a GATE test. All 3rd graders will be tested unless you sent in a form stating that your child NOT take the test. Yearbooks will also be given out on Tuesday.

On a side note, a few students need to turn in their library books. You will be notified if your child has a book out. The book needs to be turned in by Thursday or paid if lost.

As you all know, Wednesday is the end of the year party at Seacliff Beach. Due to an incident with the jumpy house last year, we have decided to enjoy a day at the beach instead. I was a bit disappointed when students complained about having to go to the beach again. Some students do not want to go and therefore have decided to miss school. Please remember that each day a child is out of school, the district loses money. This will be a fun day to enjoy with friends, even if they can't go in the water. We are very fortunate to live in such a beautiful place. How many students in the world can say that they are able go to the beach during a school day? If you haven't turned in the field trip form and $5.00, please do so by Tuesday. Mrs. Nigh is collecting money for all 3rd grade classes by June 1. The $5.00 covers the cost of food for the day.

On Thursday, students will clean up the classroom and take home any work or books that they would like to keep. Mrs. Maraldo will say goodbye to the kids then. Students will finish the last day with Mrs. Sandman. Final report cards will go home.

We would like to thank ALL of the families who helped and supported us this year. We couldn't do it without your dedication. Have a wonderful and restful summer!
