Ms. Beckstead's 3rd Grade Class

Welcome Back!! I hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving break! The next three weeks are going to be insane with activity and we will be super busy. One thing that will will be doing is earning Grinch hearts for our Grinch Party that will take place on December 18th. Each student will have the chance to earn three hearts. One for Kindness, one for Respect and one for Responsibility. I will be looking for students going above and beyond the normal for them to earn their hearts.
