Posted in Classroom | No Comments »Hello Everyone!
Thank you for those who came on our last field trip! The students had a great time. It was my first time going to Discovery Gateway and we will try and sign up for it again next year!
3rd Grade Theater Plays! April 29th 1:00pm
This coming week is pretty uneventful, however, our 1st 3rd grade studio group is going to present their Readers Theaters plays this Friday!
3rd graders, in my class, that present Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz are: Nicholas, Kennedy, and JayCee. Ask your child to start getting their things ready early this week. We have been collecting for weeks, but remind them to review their script. JayCee’s costume is pretty much set, but she will need a plain blue shirt, white tights, a black headband, and black shoes. The rest of her costume is at the school. Nicholas will need to be in all green. I have a green cape for him. Kennedy will need to be in Sunday best, and face paint (white, black, and pink), and if she has bunny ears for the March Hare. You are welcome to come and watch the back to back performances this Friday! They will be hilarious, but the students have had a fun time learning about theater and learning how to be a character. They are not required to memorize their lines, but it would be preferable. Come enjoy the fun!
Ms. Emilee will help me out on Friday with the 1st and 2nd graders as the morning will be geared towards getting the theater plays set up and underway.
3rd Grade Party has been scheduled!
The 3rd grade party will be May 12th from 1:00pm-2:30pm. If you are a 3rd grade parent, please email me and let me know if you are willing to volunteer at the party, or if you can only send in a supply for the party, or both! This week we are going to work on sending out a sign up sheet for the activities and supplies.

Upcoming Week(s):
I can’t believe next week is May already! May is busy, but it is also our winding down time since a lot of school activities will be going on. 3rd graders will finish their SAGE testing next week, theater plays will wrapped up the week after that and then it is end of the year school wide activities. Lessons will start slowly being wrapped up for Math and Language in May. Cultural lessons will last until the end of May and more group activities will bring our students to the end of the year. All students will be invited for the last round of Parent Teacher Conferences. It is their time to share with you what they learned this year and share a writing project they have been already preparing the past two weeks.
Scholastic Class Book
Your child may have mentioned they are making a story to get published by Scholastic! This is true! We are sending off our stories tomorrow (Monday) to arrive to Scholastic by Friday. It will take a few business days for them to comprise our stories into a nice hardback book! There will be order forms sent out soon if you would like to get a copy! I haven’t dug into the order forms yet and if their is a cost to a book. I have been trying to get a few students to finish up so we can send them off on time! Their stories are their end of the year project for part of their parent teacher conference.
Pizza Fractions Volunteers!
Next week, I want to do some cooking with Level 2s and 3s that relate to fractions. I want to make personal pizzas! If you would like to help out, please email me and let me know. 1st graders will do an M&M fraction activity that helps emphasize their numerators and denominators and probability of their M&M package.
I think that is everything for now! Mark up your April and May calendars as May is about to fly by!
Have a great rest of your weekend!
Cheers!
