Welcome Back & Tonight's Homework 1/3

Good evening,

Welcome back families.  I missed my students so much over the break but I had a very relaxed break.  I hope you all got a chance to relax as well.  Several students told me they wished they had one more week.  We had an awesome first day back.  The students got back into their routines and had a fabulous day.  We took SRI testing which helps us to know your child's Lexile and get their practice range.  I will be sending something home soon once we get Reading A-Z finished.  If you would like to know how your child has done, please email me.  I will try to send out personal emails this week.

Here is tonight's homework:

Reading: Read 20 minutes; Find a cause and effect relationship in your book (write it down and have it ready for tomorrow)

Tomorrow

Good evening parents,

Our holiday party was a success.  The students left the class room full and happy.  I am so grateful for parents like you.

This is just a reminder that the performance will be tomorrow.  It begins at 10 am at Richland Northeast District Auditorium.  Third grade will be performing first so get there early.  We would love for you to come out to see what hard work your children have been doing.  Please make sure your child has on khaki bottoms.  This can be pants, shorts, skirts, capris, etc.  Here is the picture of the blue Civil Air Patrol shirts 3rd grade will be wearing:

Front                                                                                                       Back

At the request of Mrs. Powers, please do not have students wearing jackets, vests, or anything that you would like them to wear during the performance that will cover the blue shirts.  Also, girls do not need to wear large headbands because students will be wearing a colorful Santa hat.

Thank You & Reminders

Good afternoon,

First, I would like to say thank you for ALL that you do.  I apologize for not blogging in a while, however this has been a very, very busy 2 weeks.  I really appreciate all the donations that you have given towards the party.  If you haven't sent any monetary donations, it's okay because we have what we need for the party.  If you are sending things in (something sweet, salty, something to drink, or paper products) please have them in tomorrow as we will have our holiday party.

We will leave tomorrow morning around 9:15 to go over to the auditorium for practice.  ALL OF MY STUDENTS HAVE RETURNED PERMISSION FORMS, so everyone will have the opportunity to go.  To ensure that every child looks the same, please send in your child's BLUE CIVIL AIR PATROL shirt.  This is the shirt that we wear for field trips.  

I will work on updating grades over break.  If you have any more questions or concerns, please feel free to email me.  

Again, thanks so much for your support and patience.  You are the best parents EVER!!!
