News and Information
ALL STUDENTS WILL NEED A LARGE PAPER GROCERY BAG at school by May 22nd. (Or a reusable bag that has a flat bottom and can stand on its own)
Summer Packet
I'm sending home a packet of review pages that your child can work on this summer. If they complete all of the pages this summer, you can return the packet to me at the school and your child will receive a prize. See the homework help box below for other ways to avoid the dreaded "summer slide" and ways make your 3rd grade teacher happy!
Outdoor recess - As spring is approaching please continue to send warm coats with your child. Our morning recess is still cold, even though it warms up later in the day.
THANK YOU!
Thank you to these wonderful volunteers:

Homework Help for Summer
- Read- everyday- for 20 minutes
- Ask your child questions about what they've read or to tell you a summary of their book
- Do the summer packet - a page a day takes 5-10 minutes- return the finished packet to me in August (drop it off at our office) and I'll send your child a prize
- Put away the electronics and PLAY- studies show that moving your body increases brain power
- Think creatively- build, do art projects, sidewalk chalk, sew, cook
- Be responsible- your child that is ! Give them jobs- they'll stay out of trouble and you'll have less to do! No reward is necessary for completing the job- we all have do do things just because we have to and its never to early to learn that lesson!
- Do math in everyday activities- measure, tell time (on an analog clock (with hands)- not digital), estimate, add/ subtract at the store mentally to find the total of items, count change, help with a garage sale
- Learn a new skill- how to make a dish, how to air up bike tires, whatever that your child might find interesting!
- Have fun -- summer is short!
