Camp Learned A Lot was a huge success! We had lots of fun with both indoor and outdoor activities. Telling stories in the tent with flashlights was a particular hit. "Box time" was another favorite, as well as, the visit with our book buddies and reading on sleeping bags. Hopefully, your child brought home all the fun items from their box in their new camp bag. Thank you for making sure your child had the needed supplies each day.
This is trite but it is hard to believe this school year is coming to a close. On Monday we will have our final auction, yearbook signing, class party, and a few other wrap up activities. On Tuesday students will clean out their cubbies and bring home all their remaining supplies. Third grade is also having our awards ceremony. Remember that Tuesday and Wednesday are Early Release days and students are dismissed at 12:30. Our lunch time is different both days and we eat lunch in the room on Wed., so please don't plan to eat lunch with us on those days. On Wednesday students DO NOT bring book bags or lunch boxes. Lunches should be in disposable containers. Report cards will be mailed at the end of the week if you provided 4 stamps. Next year's teacher will be indicated on the report card. If you want to get a head start you'll be able to check that teacher's blog to find out his/her supply list. Thank you for all of your support this year. It has been wonderful working with each of you. It was a great year and each of your children have become special to me. Please remember to make sure they keep reading this summer and help them to continue to develop their love of reading - some of them love to read to learn, some to go on new adventures, some to meet new characters, some to laugh, and some all of the above! Try to discover your child's preferences and make sure they have wonderful books at hand. My summer stack is already building! Have a great summer and I hope you have time to read a few books yourself. The inventions were wonderful and everyone presented theirs very well. Thank you for helping them with this project. Recently, I found the design plans for my oldest daughter's invention and she's 31. This tradition has been at Tritt for a long time. (yes, I finally threw it away)! Can't save it all.
Our STEAM morning was so much fun! Thanks to the parents who dropped by to see the kids in action. All of your recycling items were put to good use and the extras were recycled. Ask your child about the students that play instruments made of 100% recycled materials. You can find them on You Tube - amazing! Also ask them about the project their group made. All of the students have matured in their ability to work with group and make compromises. Today has been a fabulous day. Starting off by walking to school and then rotating through entertaining and informative arts presentations. Ask your child about martial arts, mask artistry, Farmhouse in the City (this is where they made the pictures they'll bring home), dancing, and the mime. If any of you helped organize any of this - thank you!! REMINDERS: -In your child's folder on Thursday was a bright yellow slip with a food item listed that we'd like for you to send in so we can make trail mix for camp. You won't need to send in snack that week. Thanks! -Tuesday morning from 8:10-9 is our Poetry Coffeehouse. -Friday is field day - 12-2. Our lunch is different so please don't plan to eat lunch with your child that day. Students need sunscreen, sneakers, and water bottles. -We need small figures for a new math project next week. Legoland people and Playmobil people work well. Please put your child's initials on each one. Students will be sharing. Next Week: After poetry is finished and shared students will enjoy some Reader's Theater and reading the Storyworks' magazine articles. In math students will create BalobbyLand - drawing houses, schools, etc. to scale and then combining them to make a community. In science we will explore our final unit on heat and how it is transferred. The Thursday group will finish our Ramona novel study and create commercials to advertise the book. It is sounding like another eventful and fun week as the end of third grade approached. Have a great weekend! |
