Remember that we can only use the drinking fountains to fill up our water bottles, not to take a drink from. When students forget a water bottle, we give them a cup, but it seems like we are going through cups like crazy! Please check in with your child to make sure they are bringing their water bottles each day. Thanks for your help with this.  :) Keep Practicing Multiplication Facts We will continue to work on our math facts weekly in the classroom.

Happy New Year!  I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday break.  I enjoyed spending time with my family and had a fun time with my children.  Even though I enjoyed having time off, I'm ready and excited to get back to school.  The end of the second trimester is March 5th.  Your child should continue reading nightly as part of their homework.

Tuesday, Dec. 15th - Media Center Wednesday, Dec. 16th - Late Start, SEL Thursday, Dec. 17th - Gym, Science Test Friday, Dec. 18th - Nutcracker Reader’s Theater Performance, Art, Holiday Party Nutcracker There have been many changes to all of our normal traditions this year. The Nutcracker has always been one of the traditions that the 3rd graders perform. In a normal year, they would learn all the Nutcracker songs in music class, the dances would be taught during PE class, and the speaking parts were assigned by the music teacher and sent home to practice. Mrs. Peek and I would provide help with decorating the stage, and some practice times during class. With that being said, it was breaking our hearts that this class wouldn’t get to have a Nutcracker performance.  SO… we have put together an alternative “Readers Theater Nutcracker” where there will be more speaking, an...
