Posted in Classroom | No Comments »Hello Everyone!
Thank you everyone for the wonderful generosities during Teacher Appreciation Week! Ms. Emilee and I felt the love 🙂
Upcoming Week!:
3rd Grade Party:
3rd graders are now done testing! YAY! They get their chance to celebrate this coming Thursday afternoon from 1-2:30 for their 3rd grade party.
Here is the 3rd grade party sign up sheet if you would like to help out in some fashion: 3rd Grade Party!
Spring Concert:
Here is a note from Ms. Connie,
May 19th:
Spring Choir Concert
Those with last names that start with the letters A-K will come to the 6 o’clock performance.
Those with last names that start with the letters L-Z will come to the 7 o’clock performance.
The concert will only be about 30-35 minutes long. All the children are encouraged to come, but not required. The children should wear their nicest clothes…
Boys: Sunday best…Ties and collared, button up shirt
Girls: Dresses (not showing shoulders) with leggings or tights (no bare legs) for girls….
Of course they are encouraged to find these items but, they are not required. They do not necessarily need to be school dress code.
The idea is to keep families together to watch their upper and lower Elementary children together. If they have multiple last names of multiple children that are assigned to come at different times…they can choose which one they attend…this should only effect a couple of families. I would encourage them to go to the 7:00 pm performance. It seems there is more room at that time.
May 20th
9th grade graduation
Harrisville park at 4:30-5:30
Honor choirs (3rd grade honor choir and 6th grade honor choir) will be singing two songs, one at the beginning and one at the end.
I will have practice for the honor choir during lunch on specified dates. The honor choir is by my invitation and their desire to accept only. They will come in for 15 minutes during their lunches for about 2 weeks in May. They will need to bring an easy lunch to eat quickly and clean up. At 12:15 come into the library to practice until 12:30. They will need to be there EVERY time and on time. If this poses a problem for your class schedule or procedure please contact me asap. Those that are chosen should use grace and courtesy and not rub their honor into the other children’s faces. I will send a more detailed email of the Honor choir schedule out soon

Parent Teacher Conferences!
Spring conferences are approaching! Here is the sign up link!
3rd Grade Theater Plays!
My 3rd graders who are in the 2nd and 3rd studio are performing this coming Friday, May 13th.
Peyton, Bridger, and Tiffany perform at 10:00am and Romeo, Sophia, and Aiden will perform at 1:00pm. If any of you would like to volunteer to do an activity with our class, I can make some room for that. Emilee will watch the class for a little while and we are going to split up the class to go with other teachers for some time on Friday since the plays will be an all day affair for me. The 2nd studio group are going to perform The Nightmare Before Christmas and then Little Red Riding Hood. They will start setting up at 8:30am that morning and the 2nd group can come in costume and then change after their plays. The 3rd studio group will perform Peter Pan and then Aladdin at 1pm. Those students will start setting up and getting into costume at 11:30am.
Shadowing!
Shadowing for 3rd graders begins this week! We are shadowing with our Upper El mentor class, Ms. Stef’s class. Here is the schedule that Stef and I worked out.
Monday May 9th: JayCee, Aiden, Tiffany
Wednesday May 11th: Sophia, Romeo, Peyton
Wednesday May 18th: Kennedy, Bridger, Nicholas
Kindergarteners will do their shadowing in our classroom this coming Tuesday May 10th 9am-10am and then 1pm-2pm.
Past Week:
Our students began earning classroom dollars for our end of the year bazaar! Like the store day we had back in December, this end of the year store day will be bigger. We team up with 2 Upper Elementary classrooms and our students can enjoy an end of the year selling/shopping experience. We made the money more challenging this time around with the students working with coins and then learning to exchange those coins for bills. As we get closer to the last week of school, I will expand the details on Bazaar day, but the date will be May 23rd (a Monday). Money will continue until May 20th.
MyOn Assignment for 3rd Graders:
3rd Graders began working on their last MyOn assignment this week. They have until May 22nd to complete it. They are writing a goodbye letter to our 1st and 2nd graders and are telling about their 3rd grade experience. They chose this assignment and I am looking forward to reading all the letters.
In group lessons this week:
Level 3s: Math review
In cultural: History
Level 1s: Time to the 5 minute mark
Level 2s: The moon and its phases
Level 3s: Fossils
Hope everyone has a great Mother’s Day weekend and upcoming week!
Cheers!
Ms. K
