Hi Parents, It’s hard to believe that the school year is coming to an end and this is our final newsletter.
It has been a pleasure working with each of your children this year. Thank you for supporting the third-grade teachers in our endeavors to give them the best education possible. This week students will be participating in Genius Hour by researching a “burning question” and sharing their findings in a poster. On Tuesday, third grade students will have an opportunity to meet on the playground and exchange autographs/messages with one another. This can be done in the yearbook, an autograph book, or paper of the students’ choosing. Your children will need a pen or Sharpie as well. Please stress to your children that they will be writing on someone else’s property and are expected to write neatly and respectfully. May 22nd- Class Party May 23rd-Students' LAST DAY OF SCHOOL! Report cards will be sent home. I hope all of you have a very enjoyable and safe summer!
