A Busy Week!

Thanks to all the parents who attended Parent/Teacher Conferences.  I enjoyed visiting with you about your child.  They are some pretty amazing kids!

This is Red Ribbon Week.  A note was sent home last week explaining each day's theme.

We will go to B & J Skate Center on Tuesday.  Your child may bring his/her own skates if they wish, rent inline or hockey skate for $2.00, or use the regular rental skates.  The concession stand and games will be open also.

Thanks to the room parents who are busy getting things ready for our party on Friday.  Please send money or treats to school by Tuesday.

The costume parade will be at 2:00 in the gym.  Parties will follow at 2:30 in the classroom.  Please make sure your child's costume is appropriate for school-no scary masks!

Parent/Teacher Conferences

Parent/Teacher Conferences will be Wednesday, October 20th and Thursday, October 21st.  Notes went home last week with your scheduled conference time.  I am looking forward to meeting with you and discussing your child's progress during the 1st quarter.

Field trip news

Don't forget to turn in your field trip money ($6.50) and permission slip by Monday, October 11th.  Our field trip is on Friday, October 15th.  If you want to ride the carousel, it will be an additional $1.00 that you can bring the day of the trip.  Also the gift shops will be open at both locations.  These are both optional.  I will send home information for the parents that are going on the field trip later in the week.

Science Benchmark Test Alert

A Science Benchmark Test Alert came home with the students today.  Attached you will find all the objectives we have studied during this unit.  Students are also bringing home their Science Journals so they can study over the weekend.  Please return the bottom of the test alert signed by Tuesday and your child will receive 5 extra bonus points!

Chili Supper Raffle Baskets

The 3rd grade basket this year will have a "Relaxation" theme.  You may send items to school with your child or cash donations are appreciated.  Let's support our PTA!

 

Addition and Subtraction Facts

We will be taking some "timed test" over addition and subtraction facts.  It is not only important that the students know different strategies for solving these facts, but be able to solve them quickly.  In other words...memorize the facts.

The Dollar Tree has addition and subtraction flash cards for $1.00.  These would be a great investment to help your child memorize the facts.

Thanks for all your help!

Off to a great start!

Our year is off to a great start!  We have 24 amazing 3rd graders that are ready to learn.   

Welcome back to school

We're so happy to have you at Ellison.
