Spelling Bee
Van has a school-wide spelling bee each year. Every classroom has a spell-off to determine a representative for each room. Our spell-off will be December 15th. I sent home the spelling list that will be used for this spell-off on Monday. Please practice this list with your child. The winners from each room will compete in our local competition and the winner for our school will advance to a regional competition in Lafayette.
Game Project
Our second project of the year will be due in December. I wanted to give LOTS of time so you can be working on it little by little. The information page is attached and your child will bring home a game board and die today.
Go Fund Me
A big thank you to those that have donated so far towards our Cozy Classroom Makeover. We are over half-way towards our goal. Remember that no donation is too small. It all adds up! You can donate through Go Fund Me, or some kids have brought cash for a jar we are collecting in as well. The website is: gofundme.com/mrs-andersons-cozy-classroom-2w4h3jus. I will personally match the rest of the donations that come in. Thank you!
Grandparents' Day
Just a heads-up that Grandparents' Day at Van is on Tuesday, November 22nd. There are different times for each grade level for visits. Third grade is from 10:00-10:45. Inter-State Studio will be here to take professional pictures if grandparents are interested in purchasing them. There is not a program, but students can give their grandparents a tour of the building and classroom, enjoy some refreshments, and take a photo.
Letters from Around the World
Thank you so much for asking friends and family to write to your child at school. It was a wonderful experience for the kids and they have enjoyed learning about different cities, states, and countries. The people that wrote to us and sent packages did a fantastic job sharing about their locations!
