Play Props

We are starting to gather items that we need for the play.  If anyone happens to have any of these items around their house that we can borrow for the play (and practice), that would be super awesome!  We will be very responsible with your things and return them as soon as the play is done on May 26th.  I will be searching at the DI for things as well.  Please comment on the post if you have any of these things. Thanks so much!
Things we need:
circle table (for tea party)
fake food from a children’s kitchen 
tea party items (tea pot and tea cups)
3 pocket watches (real or fake)

Fieldtrip planned on May 22nd!!!

We are so excited to announce our last 3rd grade field trip to the Living Planet Aquarium on Friday, May 22nd.  Please read and print off the permission slip.  Then sign and return with your child by Monday, May 4th.  Please check the drop off and pick up times very carefully.  They are different than the usual times.

I have REALLY good news to share with you all!!!  We are done with Words Their Way Sorts, so NO more spelling! Yay!  We are so busy trying to get ready for SAGE Testing the next few weeks.  We will be doubling up on math each day for the next two weeks to cover all the material before the testing.  It is very important for all students to be at school (on time) for the next three weeks.  Thanks for all your support in preparing our class to do awesome on SAGE!!!
