We had a wonderful field trip last Friday to the Eagle Museum and Lark Toy Museum! I think the students, and chaperones, really enjoyed themselves and learned a lot about eagles. We would have liked a little more time at the Eagle Museum, but I think the students had a great time. They represented Crestwood Elementary very well! I was very proud of my 3B students! Thank you to Katia's mom, Lauren's mom, and Morgan's mom for going with us and being wonderful chaperones!!!! I appreciated it more than you know!
The students have been super troopers this week getting a social studies test done as well as a big Benchmark test for literacy. While I don't think some prepared well enough for the social studies test (see letter sent home today), they all tried hard in class on their Benchmark assessments for literacy, which was great. Below is a list of what will be happening the rest of this week and next. Please read through it carefully so that you are aware of what will be going on.
Friday, May 18: We will be wrapping up all subject areas as well as packing up student materials to go home. I have talked to the students about bringing extra sacks or bags to help carry their supplies home. Please encourage them to do so as they will have plenty to take home. They will be cleaning out lockers and bringing all desk/cubby supplies home so please be sure they at least have their backpacks.
Monday, May 21: All of 3rd grade will be watching a movie together to celebrate the end of the year. After lunch (we will be eating school lunch), we will all head to East Park for a little fun in the sun celebration as well. Students may bring something to drink on this day to take to East Park as we are hoping for a nice, hot day! (cross your fingers). When we return from the park, we will wrap things up before heading home and having our last Character Counts celebration. (Those parents who volunteered to send snacks for this will receive a separate letter.)
Tuesday, May 22: 3rd grade teachers are planning some fun activities for the last day of school. They are still being "explored" and "decided on". We usually have a building "field day" on the last day of school, but that has been cancelled. Therefore, 3rd grade teachers are coming up with an alternate plan of fun!
Students will be dismissed at 12:30 on this day to start enjoying their summer break.
Next Monday or Tuesday will be my last blog of the year. There will probably be tears so it is good you won't see me typing it. :) Until then, enjoy the weekend!
