Odds and Ends:
*THANK YOU to everyone who was able to attend our poetry cafe! The students had a great time and were thrilled to perform for everyone! Thank you to everyone who brought in delicious treats and drinks so we could have a real coffee house experience! Thank you for making it such a success!!!
*Scholastic Book Order: The book order is due 5/21. This will be the last book order of the year.
*Photos: I will be making the last photo orders to Walgreen's for the year in the next 2 weeks. Thank you to everyone who has graciously helped by purchasing picture orders for the classroom this year. If you would still like to help out, please email me and I can let you know when an order has been placed. These pictures become treasured memories and allow the students to create keepsake memory books of 3rd grade.

Please use the link on this blog to view the summer reading blog. Also, your child received a note with their Spring MAP scores on them. I showed the students how to access games on the district website that they can play according to their RIT scores. Please ask your child more about this.
