Final 3rd Grade News from Mrs. C
May 22nd-June 5th
Tidbits From the Teacher
Oh wow- I can't believe this will be our final newsletter of the year together! Everyone is super excited about summer and we've been discussing all of the adventures that everyone will be experiencing soon. Some friends will be leaving us early and I've already started crying. It's promising to be a soggy goodbye from Mrs. C...
As usual, I want the last week of school to be super special and fun for the class. I want them to have the best memories of third grade!
I am trying to capture everything in one place so I may come in and tweak this newsletter. When I do, I'll send you an alert so you can always come to one place for new information.
I have LOVED being your child's teacher for a second time. It's so hard to let them go be fourth graders now. I worry about them like a mom. This class holds a special place in my heart and I can't wait to see what they do in the future. I love pointing out former students of mine to my current class. I refer to them as "big brothers and sisters." Next year they become the "bigs" and I start with a new class. So hard to believe!
Thank you for being awesome parents. You have been so supportive and understanding as I learned the ways of third grade. I will miss you greatly and can't wait to see you around the school and hear how things are going in your lives. I will still have the same email address so you can email me any time!
Information You Need to Know that WASN'T here before....
I'll send a subject line email when that happens.

What We're Studying and Learning...
We are in the process of learning about the expedition of Lewis and Clark to look for routes across the uncharted western part of the (now) United States. We are completely fascinated by our reading!
We are wrapping up all areas so grades can be finalized for the year in all subjects.
Student Appreciation Week the Last Week of School
Dear Families,
I would like to have Student Appreciation Week the last week of school (June 1st-5th) to honor the wonderful students that fill our room.
I thought it would be exciting if we could do several activities that would make our last week together fun and memorable!
Here’s our schedule to put on the fridge:
Monday, June 1st: Escape to a world of reading!! Bring a blanket or flat sheet, your pillow, and a towel to enjoy a day of reading in our room! Don’t forget tennis shoes for recess. (We will be going outside to watch 5th grade’s Flugtag event from 9-10 today so bring your towel to sit upon.)
Tuesday, June 2nd: We’re Never “Board” at school! Students may bring in a favorite game/board game (non-electronic) today. *All games must have child’s name visible to ensure each game goes home with the person who brought it. (Awards Ceremony in cafeteria 8:15-9:20 today.)
Wednesday, June 3rd: I’m Bubbling with Excitement! I’ll bring the bubble gum and Blow Pops. We’ll blow bubbles and try different science experiments today!! (*Bring your yearbooks to collect signatures from all your friends!* J Don’t worry if you don’t have a yearbook. I’ve got something for you!!)
Thursday, June 4th: It’s Almost Time for Summer Play! Bring in your favorite toy to play with today. Make sure you have something to carry your toy in so it stays tucked away until it gets to our room! **Names on items are very important** (Class party will be 10:30-11:30 today.)
Friday, June 5th: Let’s Pop into Summer! Wear your class shirt or the color blue today. We’ll enjoy Fun Friday and a video. I’ll provide the popcorn.
**Mrs. C will have a daily surprise for you so get ready!!
