Listed below is an attached note from Mrs. Tiba that was sent home today. Your child may not have brought home their folder due to the timing of today’s Halloween party. Please see the note attached below:

Good Evening Parents/Guardians!

Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow there will be a social studies quiz on the Geography of Michigan. The quiz is only about 8 questions long and we will be playing Geography jeopardy tomorrow before our test. If you need an extra study guide please see the weekly post. Thank you!

Tomorrow is our Halloween Party! We look forward to celebrating this haunting holiday at 2:45-3:30 tomorrow afternoon. Just a quick couple of reminders.

The first reminder is that Halloween shirts or colors are allowed to be worn tomorrow. However, costumes are sadly to be left at home for trick-or-treating.

If your child would like to bring individual Halloween treats to pass out to the class (this is totally optional), please keep in mind that we have many allergies (peanuts, tree nuts, strawberries, gelatin, gluten, red food dye, orange juice). There are a few candies that would be safe for everyone (Smarties, Dum-Dums, and Tootsie Rolls) but you could also be creative and pass out a non-food item. There are 29 students in our class. Bags will be provided. 

Lastly, please remember to sign in at the office if you plan on attending tomorrow’s festivities. We would love to have you.

Our Halloween Celebration is quickly approaching! Just a friendly reminder that our party will be from 2:45-3:30 on Thursday. We are also in need of a couple items to make our party magical.

Please see the link below for items that we would love to have donated.

Happy Halloween Week Everyone,

This week not only marks the scary arrival of Halloween, but also the end of the card marking. We will be working on wrapping up some of our units and beginning our next units in other areas.

Due to the Halloween week, your child will have two weeks to practice their spelling words. Listed below are the spelling words:

Our class Halloween party will be held this year on Thursday, October 31st. Students are encouraged to wear Halloween colors/apparel however no costumes please!

This year Mrs. Tiba has decided to have everyone’s classroom party be at the same time. Therefore, our party will be held now at 2:45-3:30pm instead of 1:55-2:40. I do apologize for the confusion and inconvenience that this may have caused. Please make sure to check out our Sign Up Genius for ways that you could help out for our party.

Today your child brought home a friendly reminder regarding Zearn. As a third-grade requirement, we expect to have students complete a total of 4 Zearn lessons a week (Monday-Sunday). We check-in our Zearn completed lessons on Monday morning for the prior week and track them within our Leadership Binder. Today as a class we noticed that our class percentage for completing Zearn lessons went down by almost 25%.

By completing Zearn lessons, your child is practicing their math skills that are aligned to what we are learning in class. This will also help your child reach their academic goal for math. This ultimately helps them acheive a better grade!

If you have received a Zearn reminder note, please return it signed tomorrow. This will help make sure everyone is on track and can be successful in reaching their math goal!

Please see the announcement below from the PTA:

Attention Families! 

ALL SOLD AND UNSOLD RAFFLE TICKETS ARE DUE THIS FRIDAY! NOVEMBER 1ST!!!

Please turn in your tickets and money to your teachers! If you have any questions please contact Erin McNally at erin.mcnally19@gmail.com!

The success of this raffle will determine how many fun things the PTA can do this year! We want to thank our families for participating! <3

It’s that SPOOKY time of year when Halloween is approaching! We will be having our classroom Halloween Party on Thursday, October 31st from 1:55-2:40 in the afternoon. Our class has been hard at working brainstorming and planning some of the activities that we will be doing.

In order to make this party memorable and fun, we could use some extra donations for this special day. Listed below you will find the Sign Up Genius for items we are looking for. If you could please donate an item our class would appreciate it.
