*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 were supposed to be sent in by today. If you have not sent one in already, please
do so by Monday, May 19th!
Thanks!
*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.
*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 15 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
