Congratulations Joshua! Joshua won the Smoke Detector Contest and he gets to spend most of the morning with the fire department.
There are a lot of fun activities planned for the week to get ready for the Monster Book Fair. A flier is coming home today of all the activities and ways to help raise money for books for the school.
Monday is Monster Monday. Students are encouraged to bring in their pennies to donate and decorate a monster for their lockers.
Tuesday is Terrifying Tuesday. Students are encouraged to bring in their nickels and wear a favorite hat.
Wednesday is Weird Wednesday. Students are encouraged to bring in their dimes and wear weird or wacky clothes.
Thursday is Thrilling Thursday. Students are encouraged to bring in quarters and wear crazy socks.
Friday is Freaky Friday. Students are encouraged to bring in any coins and dress up as a non-scary monster.
Also this week we are starting Y5210. This is an exciting program through the YMCA to promote healthy habits, healthy living, and healthy lifestyle choices. Each week we focus on a new topic. We learn about it and we make sure we exercise at least twice during the week in the classroom. An activity sheet is sent home on Monday and we ask that you help your child do the activity and sign the sheet. The sheet needs to be returned by the following Monday. If all three third grade classes get 80% of the activities done each week, we will be able to go on a field trip to the Y! More information is coming home today along with the activity.
Continue to help your child spell and sort their spelling words. This weeks high frequency words are: few, those, show, often.
Today we will take the Unit 2 Pretest. This will help us decide which group your child will be in for math. We will take the Unit 1 Post test on Tuesday. We will start our new groupings for Unit 2 on Wednesday.
