3rd Grade
Newsletter for February 15, 2018
From the teacher's pen
Here we are, heading toward a 3-day weekend. Let's all take some time to relax and give our immune systems some time to recover and/or get stronger in order to get through this winter. Even though the 3rd grader class is staying fairly healthy, they still need frequent reminders to use tissue for icky noses, throw their dirty tissues away, cough and sneeze into their elbows (or shirt sleeves), and dress appropriately for the weather. Please reinforce this at home. Also, please keep them home when they are in that miserable stage of their cold or have an unexplained stomach ache. Remember, they may not return to school until they have been fever free for 24 hours.
The Season of Lent
I enjoy the quiet of the Lenten season. We will pray a decade of the Rosary each day during Lent. I will lock the students' rosaries in the closet each night to keep them safe. Rice Bowls with prayer suggestions are in this week's Thursday Envelopes. We will also explore the Rice Bowl stories in class.
Calling All Dads
I already have 3 moms who have volunteered and now I need 2 more dads for our Pioneer Farm field trip. Really, the outhouses are not THAT bad :) Just think, you will get to hammer horseshoes in the blacksmith's shop, milk a cow, pet a pig, cook over an outdoor grate with real wood, and more. Getting excited? Our trip is Wednesday, May 9th. Let me know.
