Happy Holidays

I wanted to take a quick minute out of this crazy time of year to wish you all a Happy Holidays!  I hope you all have a great break, and enjoy the time you have together as families.  I also wanted to thank you for sharing your child with me every day!  Even with the crazy days we might have, I truly treasure each and every one of them.  They are a gift to me!  We have a had a great first half of third grade, and I look forward to more learning and fun when we return next year! 

Reminders & Notes:

• If you plan on joining us for the party, please remember to park at The Farmers Club.  You will have to buzz in the front door to be let in, and then sign in at the office and get a name tag.  Thanks for your help and understanding with this.
• Please remember to check your child's backpack when they get home tomorrow from school, as they will have papers, a present from me, and other goodies in there.  Thanks!
• Students brought home multiplication flashcards today.  Please read the note that was attached, and practice at home as often as you can!  Thanks!
• On Monday, your child also brought home a bonus multiplication book, which is due by the end of January, and a Winter Journal, which is due after break.  These are OPTIONAL!
• Report cards will be coming home January 11th, but grades will be finished and entered by Jan. 3rd if you can't wait and want to check SIS.  It was a great quarter of learning!
• PRISM sign-up is due by Jan. 11th.  I am hoping to see some great projects!  Plus, Science bonus points for anyone who does a project.  Let me know if you need information on PRISM again.
• School resumes on Thursday, Jan. 3rd!

Thanks for all of your help and support!  I appreciate all that you do to help your child, as well as our classroom and me!  You are the best!

Happy Holidays!
