First of all, a huge shout out to the parents who were able to help us on the field trip. We really do appreciate your help!

Volunteers for this week: Due to the fact we have Christmas Surprises going on in our classroom, we will not be needing any parent volunteers this week. If you come to school, and need to come to our room, please have the office call down in advance.

Friday
Next Friday morning on December 16th, the third grade will be having a Grinch Party. We will be watching the cartoon, How The Grinch Stole Christmas as a grade. We will be serving “Grinch Popcorn” (sugared popcorn colored green) “Grinch Pills” (green Sixlets) during the party. Please let us know if you have a problem with your child eating either of these things. Since this day is a Dollar Dress Down day, we thought it would be fun for the students to dress up like the Grinch or a Who from the story/movie. Any child that would like to do that sure can. It will add to the fun for sure!

Before the Grinch Party, our class will be doing a White Elephant gift exchange party. Please send your child with a wrapped present on or before the 16th. This can be something from around your house, a Dollar Store purchase, a toy you have lying around, something funny to make us laugh (Those are my favorite.), etc. Please DO NOT go out and spend a bunch of money on this gift. That will not be necessary. Let me know if you need me to have a gift ready for your child. Thanks so much for all you do!

Homework Reading: 20 minutes every night

Math: Prodigy 15 minutes 3 nights a week

Spelling: No Spelling this week

Over the break, please remember to read, and practice multiplication facts. Reflex will be available if your child would like to continue on it, but is not required.

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your family!  Have a safe and very Merry Christmas!
