This Week in Third Grade
January 19th Edition
Dear Parents,
We are collecting plant-based items for our classroom compost piles. Please be encouraged to send your favorite third grader with items such as banana peels, leaves, and food scraps to contribute. As always, please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Have a wonderful week!
Culture Night
We are beyond excited to have our Annual Culture Night. This year it will be on Thursday, Feb. 20th from 5:30-7:00 pm. The purpose of this event is to encourage exploration of cultures found throughout the world and nurture our children to become “Global Citizens.”
We encourage you as a family to participate by filling out the attached form no later than Jan. 27th.
