I've been very impressed with how the students have been handling the CRCT's. They do seem to be getting rather tired of it though . . .
Don't forget - tomorrow is our last PTA night at Chuck E. Cheese!
May 3 - Campus Clean-up
Come anytime between 9:00 & 12:00 to help "spring clean" our campus. Everyone is invited. Bring your rake, shovel, gloves, and brown paper trash bags. The class with the highest participation will receive a flower for their teacher.
Next week, April 1, we will be taking a trip to the Cobb Civic Center for a Performing Arts trip. Yesterday I sent home permission slips for those students that never turned one in back in August. I need the slip signed and returned as soon as possible so your child can go with us. It is not necessary to make the suggested monetary donation, but we sure would appreciate it.
Thanks!
Don't forget about the Fun Run tomorrow - you can register at the door if you decide to run at the last minute!
Your child hopefully has already started putting together their animal projects. Each student also needs to be prepared to give a 3 minute presentation on Friday about their animal. I plan to discuss with the class what they need to talk about in the presentation on Monday.
I hope everyone gets some sleep this weekend. I've been seeing an awful lot of tired students!

It's not too late to sign up for the Fun Run. See the attached flyer.
Here's this week's newsletter and spelling words. Have a great weekend!
Please be aware that your child will be coming home with a field trip permission slip to Fernbank. We would appreciate it if we could get these back as soon as possible. Thanks!
As I mention in the newsletter the State Department of Education has released a CRCT study guide. I have taken the liberty of downloading it and have it posted below. It's long at 76 pages but I strongly recommend that you take a look at it - the guide has some pretty good suggestions regarding preparation and has some practice questions.
Have a great weekend!

It's the weekend already !?!?!? The class thought yesterday was Tuesday!
Thank you to everyone for making Teacher Appreciation a wonderful week! I greatly appreciate the gift cards I received.
Attached is the newsletter. We will have a normal week next week.
I want to give many thanks to everyone for helping their child with their Valentine's cards. The class had a great time exchanging the cards with each other today. Thank you for helping make this a memorable experience!
I forgot to bring home a copy of the newsletter to post for this week (sorry!), but be aware that since it's a short week we are not going to have any spelling words or spelling homework. We will instead continue working on our persuasive writing skills.
Have a wonderful four day weekend!
Back by popular demand - our weekly newsletter! Attached is the newsletter and our weekly spelling words. Our story for this week is Nature's Balancing Act.
I know, it's been awhile since I've updated the blog - life's been getting in the way!
I want to thank the Foundation and all who contributed to the Smartkids campaign. We got our smartboard installed on Saturday, and it is now up and running. I feel like a kid with a new toy, and the kids love it! We're very excited to start incorporating it into our daily lessons.
Thanks, and I'll see you all at our performance tonight!
It sounds as if everyone in the class had a wonderful break. I have to say that I wasn't too surprised to see so many tired third graders today. I'm sure they will sleep better tonight!
Please remember that report cards will not be going home this week. We will be distributing them during Conference Week. Speaking of conferences, your child should be coming home with their conference times today. I'd really appreciate it if I could get those back as soon as possible. Scheduling 18 conferences can get complicated and it helps knowing what times have been confirmed when a conflict does arise. Thanks!
