Well, the middle of April is fast approaching and before we know it, it will be the end of May. Time is going by so quickly. With that being said, we have a lot of things to touch base on. I will briefly discuss some of the following:
* MAPs testing is done for 3B with the exception of 3 students who were absent and need
to do make-up tests today. The students tried hard and did very well overall! You will see
your child's results at the end of the year when scores are sent home with report cards.
* Students have until the end of April to earn their "Walking Taco" party by mastering all
their multiplication facts. This is the time to push through them and work hard!
* I mentioned last week that 3B will be taking a field trip to Lark Toy Museum and the
Eagle Museum in Wabasha on Friday, May 13th. I have had two parents volunteer to be
chaperones and am looking for one more. If you are interested, please email me or call
me. If we have more than three parents interested, their names will go into a hat and three
names will be drawn. If you are interested, please let me know by the end of the week
so that those parents going will have ample time to let employers know in case they need
to take the day off.
* We will be having our "pizza party" for those students who returned their Book-It calendars
all six months. I am glad to say that this will include almost half the class! Yeah! We will
be having our pizza next Tuesday, April 19th. Those students who returned their
calendars will have lunch with me as I will provide Pizza Hut pizza as well as a beverage.
Those children who did not make it all six months will have lunch in the cafeteria with
one of the other 3rd grade teachers supervising.
* Biography Reading - Hopefully you have all started working on reading and taking notes
for our upcoming biography project. Just a reminder that the students should have their
book read and notes taken by April 25th. That is all they have to do at home. We will
write our presentation and work on our video using Animoto at school. So....keep
reading. Remember to return the book with the notes on April 25th!
* You will see that I am sending lots of papers home today. Two of the pieces coming home
are your child's last science assessment on Force and Motion as well as your child's
unit assessment for math for geometry. I do not need these back or signed, but I just wanted
to call your attention to them to take a look at them.
Thank you for signing and returning my letter about responsibility that I sent home last week. I appreciate your help and cooperation with this as it was becoming a big, big problem. Together we are stronger than alone! So thank you!
Enjoy the week! Keep reading and taking notes with your 3B child on his/her biography. It will be due before you know it.
