The Book Fair is open from now until May 5th. Our class will preview the Book Fair on Friday from 11:10-11:30. Each student will have the opportunity to make a book wish list. The Book Fair is one of the best opportunities for our school library to receive funds. The company will give SES 30% of all you buy. Mrs. Hendrix uses this for books and other library needs.
Boosterthon
Prepare to be attacked with lots more information when the Boosterthon team arrives on Monday. We will have our Pep Rally @12:30, and you are welcome to attend! Each day the 3rd graders will gather in the auditorium for a huddle which is just a meeting to teach the character lesson for the day and pass out prizes for students who got pledges.
The Fun Run is the big event for Boosterthon. It will be on May 7th, and you are welcome to attend! Students will run laps around a small loop in the back playground grass while listening to fun music. Each pledge is sent to SES based on how many laps each student runs. I will have a sign-out sheet if you would like to check your student out early.
Field Day
Look for another post about this coming soon. The biggest thing is to have your student in tennis shoes, sneakers, kicks, trainers, plimsolls, gym shoes, or running shoes and also to send a change of clothes. PLEASE no high-tops or nice sneakers because the students will need to grip on wet grass and will get dirty! I will have a sign-out sheet if you would like to check your student out early.
Statham Stampede
This annual run takes place on May 8th @ 9:15. Teachers, students, parents, siblings, and pets are all invited and encouraged to participate! The route is protected by Statham police officers and Barrow County sheriffs. I've included a map below, but your student must have a signed permission slip to leave the school grounds.
You should have received a permission form in this week's Monday folder. I didn't send home Monday folders until today because I wanted them to have something to put their progress reports in. [Sidenote: If your student isn't checking his/her cubby for graded papers, their Monday folder will be empty. I'm trying to remind them once and teach them to be responsible.]
Please return the permission slip as soon as possible, so I can plan accordingly. I will have a sign-out sheet if you would like to check your student out early.
Awards Ceremony
The 3rd grade awards will be in the auditorium from 9:00 -10:30. This will be a much shorter affair than last year. Each student will receive an award in our classroom after the ceremony. You are encouraged to stay for that and take pictures in the room. Students will not be allowed to be checked out during the awards ceremony out of respect for the other students who are receiving awards. I will have a sign-out sheet if you would like to check your student out from the room afterward.
Last Day Brunch Party
The students and I agreed that it would be fun to have a brunch party for our End-of-the-Year celebration. We'll do pancakes, breakfast casserole, fruit, etc. Please look for a sign-up sheet to come home in Monday folders in two weeks. Again, I will have a sign-out sheet if you would like to check your student out early. We will play games and just enjoy each other's company for the rest of the day.
Please email me with any questions...
