3rd Grade's a HOOT!
February 16 - 19, 2016
3rd Grade Update
This Friday we will be going on our field trip to The Battle of Aiken. We will be leaving the school around 8 and returning around 1:30. Please don't be late. It is important that students wear comfortable walking shoes and bring a jacket. The majority of this trip will be outside. If students signed up to bring their lunch from home, it will be important that they bring both their lunch and a drink. It will be an exciting day and I hope everyone will behave and enjoy this opportunity to learn about a battle from the Civil War.

Don't forget to check and sign your child's agenda each night. Encourage them to write neatly so you can read what they should be doing. Every child should be able to communicate what they are doing in class.
Purple folders come home on Wednesday. Please make sure you are reviewing the papers and signing the folder each week. The folders are due back to school by Friday.
