Halloween Party

Posted on by

Hello All,
We will be having a Halloween party after the Halloween Parade on October 31st. Usually, we like to do rotations with 2 games, a food decorating/compiling, and some kind of craft. I would love if one parent/guardian would like to take charge of coordinating who is doing what. You can email me what kind of rotation you would like to do and I can coordinate or forward your email onto the parent in charge. Nothing needs to be elaborate, just something fun to do for 10-15 minutes.
Thanks,
Miss Young

As many of you already know I have been having some problems with my leg. For the past four weeks have been seeing the doctor to try and solve things non-surgically. Things have progressed beyond that point, and my doctor told me surgery is my only option for relief. So, I am going to have surgery tomorrow on my back. I am going to be gone Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of next week.

Our class will be in the very capable hands of Mrs. Maxfield, Mrs. Arrington (SPED Director), Mrs. Alexander (3rd Grade teacher), our SPED rover for a few hours, and a substitute teacher. Mrs. Maxfield will be with them the whole time and will be assisted by the other teachers mentioned  I have meticulously planned out my time so that we are right on track and progressing smoothly. I will be face timing with the class on a regular basis, I will even be teaching a few lessons from home! Isn’t technology is so great?!
I am so sad to leave our class even for a day, so this is going to be a challenge. Our class has been working hard and learning a ton these first few weeks of school. I am excited to see their progress when I return. 

I will still be accessible through email or bloomz (if you have not signed up for bloomz, please do so) if there are any questions or concerns. Please understand that it may take me a little longer to respond. 🙂

Welcome to 3rd Grade! I am so excited to get ready for the new school year. I am really looking forward to meeting all of you. This is going to be a fabulous year. Here are a few announcements just to get us started. All announcements from here on out will be available on our class blog. To subscribe enter your email address on the side of the page where it says, “Make sure to subscribe to our blog!”


Remember Back To School Night is Monday, August 14 from 5:30 to 7:00. I will be doing a presentation every 15 minutes starting at 5:30. If there is a session already started when you get to class, please wait for the next one. At 7:00 we will be having an inclusion parent meeting that will be in the Q1 Gym. Please come with any question you might have about our upcoming school year. We will be talking with all of the inclusion teachers and aids, as well as the SPED coordinators.


I’ve decided to do my supplies a little differently this year. I am giving the parents and option to pay $20 to cover each student’s supplies. (If you can, I would prefer this. I already bought class sets of all the supplies. I promise it is a great deal for all these great supplies!) This way I can get all needed supplies purchased and labeled before students even come back to school and parents have a few less things to buy during a busy time of year.


You can start paying the $20 to the office the day school starts or on back to school night. I will be buying, labeling, and organizing the supplies over the summer so that we will be ready–or close to it–by the first day of school!
The $20 will purchase each student:
  • Pencil pouch
  • Colored pencils
  • Crayons
  • 3 Folders, including a homework folder
  • 2 Spiral notebooks
  • 3 Composition notebook
  • Scissors
  • 3 Mechanical pencils
  • Headphones (if you already have headphones that you like, you are welcome to bring them. Regardless, there will be a set available for every student that stays at school.)
  • Glue sticks
  • Copy paper
  • 1 Box of Tissues
  • 1 Container of anti-bacterial wipes (i.e. Clorox or Lysol)
  • 1 roll of paper towels
                                                                         Have a great last couple days of summer!
                                                                         Miss Young

Have a wonderful and safe and adventurous summer!
