Hello! This week students will receive a spelling homework packet for The Lost and Found. Students will be tested on all 20 words as well as the 5 sentences on the back on Friday. There will be nightly math from Chapter 1, Place Value. Students are to choose any 3 problems on the back. They can do all if they would like a challenge.
Thursday is our field trip to the SC County Fair. We'll be gone from around 8:30-1:30. All kids should bring a sack lunch and wear sunscreen. This field trip is free except for a $10 parking fee. Thank you to the chaperones who signed up. Be sure to update your driver form in the office. Thursday is also Back to School Night. If you can't make it, let me know so I can send home some info to you. Hope to see you then!
Have a wonderful weekend!

Dear Families in Room 21,
Hope you all have a wonderful Labor Day weekend! Here are some updates for the week of Sept. 4-7. On Tuesday, students will receive a spelling homework packet including one spelling page, reading log (you can cross off Monday for the holiday), and subtraction facts practice. This is due on Friday. We will also have a spelling test on Friday, which will include the 12 words as well as students being able to spell their full name. We have realized that many don't know how to spell their middle name. Students will have their first math test on Wednesday reviewing the concepts of graphing and probability that have been covered in class. There will be no math homework Wednesday night. They get a little break after the test:)
Please remind your child that we go to the library on Tuesday. If they'd like to renew a book or check one out, they'll need to bring their book to class. We have library every Tuesday from 9:15-9:35.
The Rio del Mar Classroom Volunteer Survey was sent home last week. It had volunteer positions for Room Parent, Yearbook, and other misc. jobs. Please send in by this Tuesday.
That's all for now! Again, have a nice, restful weekend.

Dear Parents,
Whew! What a great week back! It was wonderful getting a chance to meet some of you and getting to know your kids this week. They were all very sweet and seemed happy to be back at Rio. Thank you for all of the supplies and wish list items you sent in. They will come in handy throughout the year.
On Monday, students will be receiving a reading log/math subtraction facts packet that will be due on Friday. You may be wondering why the subtraction seems so easy? Since these skills become rusty over the summer we like the students to practice daily before moving on to multiplication in a few months. They will also have nightly math homework Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights that go along with our Houghton Mifflin curriculum. Although we do check the nightly math in class, please be sure your child is doing their work carefully and correctly.
This time of year we are also beginning the Innisbrook fundraiser. A packet will be coming home with your child on Monday.
That's all for now! Have a wonderful, restful weekend!

Welcome!
Dear Parents and Students,
Welcome to 3rd grade in Room 21! It's hard to believe that summer has come to an end. But as one adventure ends, a new one begins. I look forward to meeting all of you (and your smiling faces) bright and early Monday morning.
Below you will find a list of school supplies, some optional, as well as a wish list. I'll be looking for a parent volunteer the first week of school to come in and take pictures of the students. I would also LOVE some help pulling pages from our Houghton Mifflin Math and ELA practice books. If you are free to help please email me at: athena_maraldo@pvusd.net
See you soon!
Sincerely, Athena Maraldo

Last Week of School June 4-8
Hello parents! Can't believe it's already that time of year to say goodbye. As we end our last week, I hope that all of your children have a chance to reflect on what they've learned in 3rd grade. It's been a pleasure teaching them this year even though I was on maternity leave. They have all grown and matured so much since August.
Tomorrow, Monday, we will have a small class talent show. If you'd like to come it begins at 10:00. Studentd will receive yearbooks if they ordered them in the morning. Also this Wednesday is our end of the year party at Seacliff. Please send in your permission forms and $5.00 if you haven't yet. We are in need of 2 more drivers. Friday dismissal will be at 10:50. I will send report cards home with your child. If there is any outstanding balance with library, I can leave the report card in the office to pick up. A big thank you to all of the parents who volunteered in one way or another this year. You truly are a gift and I appreciate all you do. I wish you all well this summer!
Best Regards, Athena Maraldo

May 29-June 1, 2012
Hope you are all having a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! Thanks to all the parents who were able to drive on the field trip to the Agricultural History Museum. It was a fun one and I'm glad the kids didn't miss out. Mrs. Nigh is looking for volunteers to help set up for the end of the year party at Seacliff Beach on June 6. If you can help out please let me know. We also need more drivers for this trip as well. It is from 10:00-1:30.
As the year winds down quickly, please let me know if your child will be leaving school before June 8. I'm in the midst of report cards and want you to receive it if your child is not here the last day of school. Also, be sure all library books are turned in by this week. If any are lost, they will need to be paid for to the librarian.
Have a wonderful week!
