The level 3 students are getting excited for their rite of passage…the 3rd grade party!  Please sign into trackitforward.com to sign up to help provide items or chaperone the party.  The party will be held Thursday, May 10th in the afternoon.  If you have questions, please let me know.

Please remember to sign up your child to our field trip Monday.  Even if you are providing their ride, I need to know.  If it is your first time using trackitforward, it will ask you to create an account.  You will need this same account for any sign up through out the school.  We will use them for parent teacher conference in May.

Also, if you are planning on attending the field trip on Monday, please remember they charge $3.00 and no additional siblings may attend.  This is Ogden Nature Centers policy.

You can find the sign up sheet for rides here.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered to drive for our upcoming field trip.  I have created a trackitfoward that can be found here. I am also asking that you sign up if you are providing your own ride.  If you have not already signed up for track it forward, it will ask you to create an account.  We will be using trackitforward for all our sign ups here at the school, so it will be necessary.  This helps in preventing last minute worries for the students.  Thank you again.

We have early out on Friday, March 16th at 1:00 p.m. and then no school on Monday, March 19th for teacher development.

Hi,

I wanted to quickly remind everyone that we have our Ogden Nature Center field trip coming up on Monday, March 26th.  We will be leaving the school at noon in order to meet our 12:30 p.m. start time.  If you would like to help with rides, please send me an email.  I would like to have a carpool sign up posted on Track It Forward by Monday.

Thanks, Ms. Brittany

Thank you for a wonderful round of parent teacher conferences.  Your children are amazing and its so fun to celebrate with you all of their accomplishments.

I also want to thank the wonderful mothers who came to support our celebration of love of Wednesday.  Special thank you to Ms. Mandee, for planning all the fun, and to everyone who help to provide supplies.

I also want to thank you for the thoughtful gifts and cards.  I truly love each and everyone of your children and appreciate the opportunity to work with them each day.

Sorry I forgot to send home their weekly reflections.  A personal weekly highlight for me, was teaching the students the lyrics to the “Star Spangled Banner”.  We will continue to practice, but they were loving it.

We are currently entering our study of North American and starting with the United States.  Our up coming projects will be a state report, so begin brainstorming with your child.  We will try and cover 30 different states, so only 1 state per student.

Have a wonderful Presidents  Day weekend, see you Tuesday.
