SCHOOL IS OUT! HAVE A WONDERFUL SUMMER!
5/30/12
Wow! We are down to our last few days here at school! I can't believe how quickly this school year has flown by....time flies when you're having fun! :)
Open House last Thursday was a BIG success- thank you all for attending and taking the time to come in to view the student's creative Solar Systems, art work, Flat Stanley Project and postcards, Newcastle history time-lines, and so much more! I know the students are very proud of all they have accomplished, and they all did such a great job of being little "tour-guides" for the evening.
Homework will continue this week: nightly reading, math, and cursive. Make sure to check student planners for nightly assignments.
Monday, June 4th is Field Day here at school. We will begin the festivities at 9:15 with a juggling presentation, then move into field/relay games. We will finish the day with a light treat, and will be done in time for lunch.
End-of-the-Year Class Party: Thursday, June 7th. I heard there is a special treat coming!

Hello Families!
First off, I want to say a big THANK YOU for making Teacher Appreciation week so special! Your flowers, cards, gifts and treats were just so amazing.....I can't tell you how touched I feel by your generosity and making me feel special this past week! And to top it off, it was also my B-day week and the students surprised me with more treats and a cupcake celebration on Friday! Oh- What a week! I am seriously going to hit the gym!
OK- on to business- Here are a few things happening this week in our classroom:
1. Solar System Projects- a handout when home yesterday with directions on how to build a solar system mobile. This is a very fun and creative project for the students to work on at home. Let me know if you have any questions- they are due next Thursday, May 24th for Open House.
2. Open House- is next Thursday, May 24th. There will be a Hoe-Down/ Singing out on the field starting at 5:30. Then from 7:00- 8:00 classrooms will be open for viewing.
3. Parent Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast- if you volunteered in the classroom this year, please be sure to attend next Monday morning from 7:45- 8:15 in the Ampitheater so we can recognize those parents who put in the extra time and support for our classroom.
Let me know if you have any questions- thank you as always for your support!

Hello Families!
Here are a few important reminders for this week:
1. State Testing Starts Tomorrow! Last week in Communication Folders I sent home a testing schedule for the next two weeks. Please remember to have your child get plenty of rest, eat a healthy breakfast and arrive to school on time.
Please feel free to donate a "Breakfast Brain Booster" tomorrow. Items such as fruit slices, granola bars, muffins, string cheese would be great.
2. Field Trip to Fairytale Town is this coming Monday, May 7th. We will be leaving around 8:30 and arriving back here at school around 12:30. I could use a few more parent drivers if you are willing to volunteer. So far I have Ellis, Freiberg, Grant- thank you! Mrs. Voges will also be joining us to help chaperone.
3. School pictures to be returned- if your child has not returned their picture packets, or their money, they should be returned as soon as possible. The end of the school year is fast approaching and it would be sad if a student had an outstanding fine and could not participate in all of the fun activities planned!
Class Needs: glue sticks, scissors (large and small), colored Sharpies for Art
Let me know if you have any questions-

Hello Third Grade Families!
The following are a few exciting things happening here in our classroom:
1. Field Trip to Bernhard this Friday, April 27th! Students need to come to school in costume with their lunch. We will remain here at school, go to the library to check in/out our books, take a spelling test, take a few photos perhaps, and then load into vehicles at 9:00. This is an exciting, busy day that the students are really looking forward to!
2. CST Testing next week! We will be testing Tues., Wed., Thurs. for two weeks. I would like to offer the students a "Breakfast Brain Booster" each day of testing. Items like muffins, string cheese, granola bars, juice, cut up fruit would be great. Are there any parents who would be willing to contribute?
Please send me a quick email regarding what you would like to donate so that we don't have too many repeats. I will work out a delivery schedule for the six days of testing.
3. Another Field Trip! to Fairytale Town Monday May 7th! Students brought home their field trip slip which needs to be signed and returned with $2.25 in order to attend this trip. We are supporting our Junior Kindergarten Buddies as they study and explore Nursery Rhymes. Our class will be working on putting a "twist" on a classic tale.
Class Needs:
Glue Sticks, colored sharpies for Art, Kleenex, scissors (large and small)
Let me know if you have any questions- thanks for all of your support!

Hello Third Grade Families!
Just wanted to let you know about a few things happening here in our classroom this week:
1. Bernhard Field Trip is coming- April 27th! Remember to start gathering your child's costume and items for lunch depicting the year 1889. I sent a packet home about three weeks ago regarding clothing, food and history of Placer County during that time period. We will be leaving school around 8:30 am and arriving back here at school by 2:00.
2. CST Testing is coming too! We will be testing May 1st, 2nd and 3rd and then again the following week May 8th, 9th and 10th. Please make sure your child arrives to school on time, and gets plenty of rest and eats a healthy breakfast during these mornings.
3. Writing contest deadline today! I have received several stories from students which I will submit today.Thank you to the students who participated- we will cross our fingers and I will let you know if I hear anything back from KVIE.
4. Nook/Kindle or EReaders are encouraged in the classroom. Several students have asked if they could use their Nook/EReader/Kindle in the classroom. I am ok with students using them during Silent Reading-just make sure you review your own family policy regarding your child's use of the device. The school is not reponsible for any lost or damaged items from home. Students will also not be allowed to take them out to the playground.
5. Our Buddy Junior Kindergarten class has invited us to go with them to Fairytale Town in May. I will keep you posted on the date, and will send home a permission slip by the end of the month. This will require parent volunteers/drivers so let me know if you are willing to transport students when the date gets confirmed.
Class Needs: scissors (both large and small sized), colored pencils, colored sharpies, glue sticks.
Thanks for all of your support for our Third Grade Class! Let me know if you have any questions-

Speaking of reading....I am sending home a reading log this Friday so students can chart their reading during the holiday break. Please remember to sign the reading log when it is complete: Due Tuesday, April 10th.
4. Challenge Mastery- Have your child take a look at the Challenge Mastery list on this website and choose one to study. It's great to see so many students eager to learn!

Hello Families! Just wanted to let you know what's happening in our class this week:
1. Story CD's that correlate with our Language Arts program are available. Please send me an email if you would like one sent home. Due to the cost, and volunteer time, I would only like to send home a CD if you are interested in listening to the stories at home.
2. Narrative stories are underway! The students are super excited about the contest (see below) and are coming up with some very creative stories. You may see some editing as homework over the next few weeks as the deadline to enter the contest approaches.
3. Social Studies continues to focus on our local community and Placer County. Today we answered the question How did early Settlers affect your region's economy? See if you child can explain to you the answer :)
Reminder: Tonight (Thursday 3/22) and this Saturday (3/24) are two training opportunities for Bernhard. Check out the class calendar for times. Tomorrow optional Ski Trip to Boreal for those interested families (not all students)- see the school web site for details.

If you would like a story CD please email me and I will send one home in the C-folder next week.
This will cut down on the cost of CD's for the class.

Please check out www.kvie.org/writers_contest for more info. Student entries are not mandatory, yet I will be supporting the story outline in the classroom.

I encouraged students in class to put their own create ideas into the project- we have already received a few with "hair", one with a "skirt", and another one that looks very much like a robot. We will be focusing on Measurement and Geometry this next week in math. Don't forget to study those multiplication and division math facts. They are essential when working with decimals and fractions which we are learning too!
5. Social Studies- we are studying the local community and will correlate the study with a brief family history from each student. In the C-Folder your child brought home a handout asking questions regarding their own family's history in the local community.
