Hello everyone! I'd like to thank all of the parents who attended back to school night last week. I felt that it went pretty smooth and hopefully your questions were answered. You can always email me at athena_giovannis@pvusd.net if you have any further questions. Also, I appreciate all who were able to sign up to voluteer in the classroom.

Here are some upcoming events I'd like to tell you about:
The field trip to the county fair is coming up soon. Be sure that you send in your child's permission slip if you haven't done so. In addition, I have 6 parents who will be driving, so we are all set. I forgot to mention at back to school night that we will begin penpals this week with another 3rd grade class in the district. The kids are excited and will have the opportunity to meet up with their new "friend" at the fair.

We are also scheduled for another field trip to Nisene Marks on Friday, September 21. I just send home permission slips today and will be looking for more drivers. If you are interested, please let me know so I can give you the chaperone agreement form.

Last but not least, the 3rd grade homework packets will be sent out next Monday. The format is a bit different than what you have seen the past few weeks in my class, but will remain the same throughout the year.

I'd also like to give a big thank you to everyone who has donated supplies and/or money to the classroom fund. Your support is greatly appreciated!
