Ho, Ho, Ho! Only two more weeks to go! We have the holiday spirit in room 212. There are many events and topics being covered in the next two weeks. Please make sure to stay tuned into our blog to be up to date on all of the events.
- While we understand the holidays are very busy, please make sure that your child is completing their required 4 lessons of Zearn a week. As a third grade team we are noticing that there has been a strong decline of students doing Zearn since Thanksgiving. Zearn is crucial to helping your child succeed. Please make sure to keep encouraging your child.
- “Dog Man:The Musical,” field trip slips went home today. Permission slips and money due on Thursday. Please see previous post for more information.
- Santa Shop- Santa Shop is an optional shopping activity that will be occurring this week. Our class shopping date will be on Wednesday. If your child will be participating, please make sure that your child has money in their envelope (which was passed out today) with their name on it.
