Important Announcements:
*Abigail celebrated her
birthday on Tuesday, April 29th. Happy
Birthday, Abigail!
*This last reading unit has
challenging spelling words! Make sure you
are looking at and studying those words!
*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
