September 4-7

Happy 2nd Week of School!!!
Reminders:

  • Parent Orientation will be held this Thursday  from 6-7pm. This is a great opportunity to learn the expectations of your child this year. We will cover everything you need to know! Please meet in my classroom rm 429 promptly at 6:00. We will then go to the library to meet all the 3rd grade teachers and have a quick refreshment. I hope to see you all there. 
  • Book Orders were sent home on Back to School Night. They need to be returned by next Friday, September 14th.
  • The temperature in our classroom fluctuates from minute to minute and day to day. Please be sure your child has a jacket that they can wear for those times it is cold.
  • If you would like your child to have snack, please send a healthy snack that follows the snack guidelines. Snacks that do not meet Minimal Levels of Nutrtional Value will not be allowed during snack time. If you would like to donate snack to the class for students that are unable to bring snack, I'd be grateful.
