Announcements & Reminders
Thank you!
Thank you so much to everyone for sending items from our classroom wishlist. I'm so blown away by the generosity. Thank you for all the support!
I try to add items that students like to purchase from our class store or items students like to use in our classroom, but if you feel there are items not on the list that would motivate your student please let me know!
Headphones
We use headphones in our classroom for various activities (word sorts, Scholastic news activities, listening to books, etc.) so if you could please send your student to school with a pair of headphones that can be plugged in and that can be left at school, that would be great! Thank you!
Water Bottles, Snacks & iPads
This is just a friendly reminder to please send students to school with a water bottle and charged iPad. This very much helps our day run smoothly, so thank you in advanced!
Please also remember that all snacks must be fresh fruit or vegetables. Third grade does not eat lunch until 12:45 p.m., so feel free to pack a bigger snack to help students make it lunch time.
