Posted in Classroom, Field Trips, Home Projects | No Comments »Hello Everyone!
Thank you to all of you for making our field trip a success. Thank you to those parents who took time out of their day and came with us! Having that much support made for a smooth trip. I am happy that everything worked out. Even though we had to get a different schedule, it really ran smoothly and all the kids had a great time.
Our last field trip will be to the Discovery Gateway Children’s Museum on April 21st. We will be taking the Frontrunner and Trax again.
Past Week:
Due Date Reminders!
-MyOn assignment for Level 1s and 3s- Due tonight (Sunday)
-Favorite food opinion writing due Tuesday. We had our weekly writing lesson this past Tuesday on opinions again. The students are writing about their favorite foods and can CHOOSE (not required) to bring in their favorite food to share on Tuesday afternoon. Some students are making a little paper craft of their food, some just want to bring in their food, and some want to do both.
-Science Fair, for just our class, was talked about on Friday! We came up with a due date on March 24th. It will be in our room from 1:00-2:15. Science Fair topics are due this Friday, March 4th. The following Friday will be their hypothesis.
3rd Grade Studio Plays!:
* My 3rd graders need to start bringing in costumes, props, etc. for our studio Theater plays! Ask your 3rd grader what they might need for their theater plays. We want to start collecting things now. If you or someone you know is crafty or good at building, we need help making backdrops and scenery for our theater plays. We know we need a fairly large puppet show stage and a dog house. Let me know if you or someone would be willing to paint backdrops, help make costumes, props etc.
We are going to perform all 6 plays the last week in March for Literacy Week! Dates TBD. All props, costumes, etc. should be ready to go by March 25th (Last day of studio).
