Count Down Has Begun...Lots Coming Up

Well, tomorrow is May 1st.  That usually means the countdown until the end of the school year begins.  I can't believe it is May 1st already!  This year has definitely flown by!!!

I hope the students shared with you everything they learned at our Arbor Day field trip last Thursday out to Vernon.  It was a fun day, and the students learned so much!  Luckily, the weather cooperated and we ended up with a great day outside.  I think the students were pretty exhausted by the time we got back to school.  I was very pleased with their behavior and how the students in 3B represented our school!  Nicely done 3B! I will try and post some pictures this week.

Our big field trip for 3B is next Friday, May 11th.  We will be taking chartered buses to the Eagle Museum in Wabasha and Lark Toy Museum.  Information about this trip will be coming home this week sometime as we will be leaving earlier than a normal school day.  Be sure to look for this information by the end of the week as there will be forms and papers for parents to sign and return. Just a heads up that students will be asked to bring a sack lunch from home for this trip.

I am looking for 3 chaperones that day.  As a chaperone, you will be given a small group to lead and be responsible for throughout the day.   This is a wonderful field trip that the students have enjoyed in the past.  I have no doubt students this year will enjoy it as well.  If you would like to be a chaperone, please send me a note, an email, or call me.  If I have more than three parents volunteer, I will put all names in a hat and draw (to keep it fair and square).  If you are interested in chaperoning, please let me know by this Thursday, May 3rd, so that I can get then names drawn and let parents know by this Friday.  Thank you!!!

The students who read for all the months of Book-It enjoyed some yummy pizza last Thursday!  It was a nice reward for the great readers we have in 3B!

Our Walking Taco celebration will be this Friday, May 4th, for those students who have mastered all of their multiplication facts.  The deadline for this was last Friday.  If your child mastered all his/her facts (and they should know if they did or not), the third grade teachers will be supplying all the "goodies" to make walking tacos.  The student needs to bring whatever he/she would like for a beverage.  If your child did not master all of his/her facts, he/she will work on activities to continue to build the recognition of his/her facts and will NOT be eating walking tacos.  Therefore, they do not need to bring a beverage that day.  Sorry!

Next Wednesday, May 9th, is our Cadets for a Cause Day! While there have been lots of notes from the office sent home in recent weeks.  I thought I should quickly comment about what will be going on.  Your child, if they have not already, needs to bring one dry or canned good to get admission to the big Cadets for a Cause celebration.  These items will then be given to the local food pantry.  3B has had a great turn out for this already, so just remind your 3B child to bring something to give to the food pantry if they have not already.  Many students in 3B have brought more than one item, which is so kind!    If anyone ordered Cadets for a Cause tshirts, they should be arriving soon.

On the day of Cadets for a Cause, we will be walking over to the high school to enjoy some fun activities before the big walk.  Students will also be eating school sack lunches that day, hopefully outside, so there is no need to send a lunch with your child on this day.  If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or Linda in the office.
