All aboard the 3rd grade Polar Express! Our party will be from 9:15-10:30 on Thursday, December 17th.  If you are interested in helping run a center on the day of the party, or are willing to donate items, please click on the Polar Express picture below (for the Volunteer Spot link, enter your email, and click next). We would like each child to send in $1.00 to cover the cost of the Christmas party.  We are planning crafts, games, and snacks related to the Polar Express theme and will be combining all of the 3rd grade classes.

Also, we will be having a gift exchange within our own classroom, please help your child select a gift of approximately $3.00-$5.00. Girls will choose a gift for a girl and boys will choose a gift for a boy. The gifts need to be wrapped and labeled to a “Girl” or “Boy.”  Please make sure that your child writes his/her name, so we know whom to thank. The children may start bringing them in as soon as you would like to send them.  Make sure your child’s gift is here by Monday, December 14.

If  you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Light Bulb Needed by Tuesday 12/10/13

We have the perfect “reusing” idea in the classroom. Please send in one light bulb to the classroom during the next week. It does not need to work so check around the house for any that need to be replaced. The energy efficient bulbs will not work for this project. See picture below if you are not sure of what type of bulb to send in.

The children have adjusted to being back at school quickly. Please remember to have them wear boots because the playground is very muddy and I believe that there is rain on the way. Also, morning snacks are wonderful for their hungry tummies. The children were excited to share all of the details about their Christmas vacation.

Also, please send in $1.00 to cover the cost of the Christmas Party. If you are available to help run a center during the party, please let me know. Our party is on Friday, December 21st from 9:15-10:30. Your child can wear P.J.s on that day. I am very grateful to everyone that offered to send in supplies for the party! I sent a red note home today with the item circled. If you did not receive a note, we are all set at this point.

Just a reminder that the 3rd graders can wear their pajamas to school on Friday for our Polar Express party. We will be celebrating as a grade level from 9:15-10:30 in the multipurpose room. If you haven’t sent in your $2.00 for the party or gift exchange, please do so as soon as possible.
