3rd Grade
Newsletter for February 2, 2017
From the Teacher's Pen
Yes, it was a long week of excitement but we actually did get quality work done. Read more below. My thanks go out to Tam Nguyen for teaching the 3rd graders about Chinese New Year and helping them make clackers for the Lion Dance to celebrate the year of the rooster. Chuc Mung Nam Moi!
Join Us for Mass at the end of Catholic Schools' Week
The 3rd graders will serve as the choir and the cantors for this Friday's All School Mass to close Catholic Schools' Week.
This Friday is also the Feast day of St. Blaise and we will bless everyone's throat after mass.
Pioneer Farm Field Trip
Let me know if you would like to spend the day with your 3rd grader and the rest of the class at Pioneer Farm. The field trip is Tuesday, May 23rd. We leave school at about 8:40 am and return at about 9:00 pm. Think of all the stewardship hours! Send me a message to let me know if you would like to volunteer.
