Important Announcements:
*Caden celebrated his
birthday on Monday, April 21st.
Happy Birthday, Caden!
*Class Dojo was down today so
clip-ups and clip-downs were not recorded on it!
*This week we earned our
school-wide behavior goal of 25,000 behavior tickets! Our outdoor picnic was rained out, but the
students still had a great time having a picnic on the cafeteria floor! Our next behavior ticket goal will be
announced soon!
*We took our April SRI test
on Wednesday. I have sent your child’s
report home. I am pleased with the
growth and progress in the students!
*NEXT WEEK is the last week
for our reading competition. Students
will be able to take Reading Counts quizzes every day next week! I am excited to see how many students I will
be eating pizza with!
*The final PTSG meeting of
the year will be held on Thursday, May 2st at 6:30 p.m. in the cafeteria!
*All-Pro Dad’s will take
place on Friday, May 2nd at 7:45 a.m.
*Did you know there is a Box
Tops competition currently going on at our school? The class that brings in the most Box Tops by
the end of April gets to duct tape Mrs. Greene to a wall! How fun would that be?!?!?!? Bring in those Box Tops and label them with
our class’s name!
*For our poetry unit, your
child will need to bring in a picture of something he/she loves. It can be a picture of your family, a family
pet, a favorite animal, favorite food, favorite hobby, etc. Your child will need to put his/her name on
the back of the picture so that it can be returned. If you have not sent in a picture, please do
so by MONDAY. Thanks!
*We are going to tie-dye t-shirts
for track and field! In order to do
this, I will need for you to send in a plain, white t-shirt for your
child. Please put your child’s name on
the t-shirt in permanent marker either on the tag or on the inside collar of
the t-shirt. T-shirts will need to be sent in by Friday, May 16th.
*At this point in the year,
your child should have mastery of all of his/her addition math and subtraction
math facts. Mastery would be 100% on the
five minute weekly time test. Practice
those math facts! In third grade your
child will be expected to have mastery of multiplication and division facts. I have already introduced multiplication and
division to your child, and we will be working more on multiplication and
division facts in upcoming chapters.
*This year's Relay for Life
will be Saturday, May 17th - Sunday, May 18th from 9:30am-9:30am on the Town
Hall Green. I will be doing Relay for
Life this year in honor of all of my family members that have fought cancer,
but especially in memory of my father that lost his battle to pancreatic cancer
in January of 2012. This is a family
friendly event so join our team! It's
going to be a lot of fun and we hope you will join in to make a huge
difference! You can join our team by

*Tickets
have been purchased and our field trip to the Indianapolis Zoo is all set for Thursday,
May 29th! We will be leaving
school at 9:00 a.m. and returning by 2:00 p.m.
Your child will need to bring a sack lunch from home that day (unless
he/she ordered one from the cafeteria). Your
child will also wear his/her Dog Jog t-shirt from this year. There will be a lot of people at the zoo the
day we are there, and this will help us quickly identify one of our
students. If you are chaperoning, I will
be sending you more information!
Thanks!
*Track
and Field has been moved to Friday, May 30th. The rain date will be June 2nd. Mark your calendar! We are in need of about 50 more parent
volunteers for track and field. If you
are able to help, please contact Mrs. Hopkins, our gym teacher, and let her
know!
*I believe in building relationships with the children both
inside my classroom and outside the classroom.
If your child participates in any extracurricular activities (sports,
dance, theater, etc.), or has any other events that he/she would like to invite
me to, please let me know, and I will do my best to come!
*The blog will also be updated with this information as well
