3rd Grade News
January 16th-20th
Happy Tuesday!
Welcome back! We hope everyone had a wonderful extra-long weekend!
After winter break, we have noticed that several students have lost supplies such as scissors, glue, and crayons. Please check with your child to see if they are in need of any supplies. Thank you!
ITEM NEEDED: We are doing a project in Science. Every student will need a shoebox. Please send in a shoebox for your child. If you have extra shoeboxes, we would be happy to take any extras you would like to send in. We are still about 40 shoeboxes short at this time.
Please see below for important dates, learning targets and this week's spelling list.

Experience the Awareness
SAVE THE DATE!
January 18, 2017
Please help give the Wells students an experience they will remember the rest of their lives!
At each of the nine stations, we will simulate difficulties kids with special needs live with every day.
This experience will encourage our students to become aware of others' challenges, and they will actually feel how hard it is. The students will walk away with empathy for those with special needs, as well as a new appreciation for their own lives.
This is an all day event that requires a large amount of volunteers.
