Volunteers for Big Blast.....Bug in the Room

As mentioned in an earlier post, 3B is looking for volunteers to help at our Big Blast party.  Our class will be celebrating in the gym from 9:00-10:30.  This is different that the time I originally thought it would be.  If you are free to help out and volunteer, please send me an email, message, or phone call.  I have one parent and grandparent already volunteering but would love to have 1-2 more.  If you are free and willing to help out, please let me know by this Friday. The date of the Big Blast is Tuesday, December 18th.

We have lots to do with 2 weeks left of school.  At the end of the week, we will be taking a social studies test.  To help your child prepare for the test, I will be sending their social studies materials home as well as introduce a helpful web site for them to use to review.  I plan to send materials home Wednesday with the test set for Friday (weather permitting).  Keep your eyes open for those materials and information coming home soon.

Looks like winter is here.  Please remember to have your child bring snow pants, hats, and mittens for recess.  It is also a great idea to send extra mittens or socks in case the ones the student has end up getting wet.   Better to have an extra pair in the backpack than have to wear wet socks all day or wet gloves outside at recess.

There must be a little bit of the flu and cold bug in our classroom as today we had five students absent. Some have had the flu while others have had a really bad cold.   If your child is feeling "under the weather", please keep them home and let them rest up so that they do not spread the illness around.  Hopefully the cold weather will kill some of the germs and we can all get healthy before Christmas.
