Last week of 3rd grade 5/29

Odds and Ends:

*Thank you to any parents who are able to purchase and pick up class photos from Walgreens. Please send them to school with your child by Wed of this week so we can use them in our scrapbooks. Thanks!

*4 day countdown 'til 4th grade! We will celebrate our last days of 3rd grade with a 4 day countdown to 4th grade. The following spirit days will take place:

Thurs. 5/31: Crazy hair day

Fri. 6/1: Mis match day

Mon. 6/4: Sunglasses/hat day

Tues. 6/5: Crazy footwear day...wear silly socks, mismatched shoes or slippers!

*Bowling: We will go bowling with our PE classes on Thurs from 9-11am. Please send a sack lunch that day since we return right at lunch time and often eat at the bowling alley and don't want any hot lunches to go to waste. You can send up to $10.00 with your child the day of the trip for the snack bar. 

*Gluesticks needed! We will be working on putting our end of the year scrapbooks together next week. We need gluesticks to put these together. Thank you to those families who already sent some in. If you can bring in any more, it would be much appreciated! THANKS!
