I'm Back :)

Hi! Please forgive me that it has been so long since my last post. With snow days, technical problems, and general craziness, I have not blogged in awhile! I have sent some texts through Remind 101, so if you aren't subscribed to that, please do so! It's easier to blog from my laptop, but my home computer has been giving me fits for awhile.
There are some things you need to know...
First, Jump Rope for Heart is THIS week! Congrats to our King Tripp and Queen Katie Beth for jumping the longest. If your child has raised any money toward this very worthy cause, it is due this week on Thursday! If you have any questions about this, you can email Mr. Fields at scott.fields@scott.kyschools.us.
Next, we are working on writing "How-To" pieces in class this week. Your child should have brought home a slip last night for you to discuss this project with him/her. We are writing these pieces in class, but students are "presenting" them on Thursday. They will have the opportunity to teach this topic to the class and read their writing as directions to do so. I will be taking a grade on this. The writing will be sent home tomorrow night so your child can practice. Any materials needed from home for this project will need to be sent in on Thursday.
We are going to do two science experiments this week to go with our study of Matter. Thanks to those parents who sent in corn starch!! I am still in need of grape soda if anyone is able to contribute that.
We are working on cursive handwriting during our extended instructional time. The students are very excited about it. Please help them practice this at home.
We enjoyed Career Day last Friday! A special thanks to Mr. Popp for coming, speaking, and sharing so much with our class. We were very lucky that we got to see the truck, hose, and "Jaws of Life!" I'll try to share some pics from the day in a separate post.
A form came home today about our upcoming field trips. We're going on our annual Farm Day Field Trip on April 8th. This year's third graders will remember taking this trip last year. We'll also be visiting the Horse Park on April 15th. We sent one permission slip home today for both of these trips. Please return that tomorrow if possible.
Report cards are coming home on April 11th! We'll only have one grading period left after that. It's hard to believe the end of the year is near--especially since it snowed like a blizzard today!?!?!?! #Kentuckyweather

Third Graders Only- Reading Test tomorrow over "Suki's Kimono" and Math Test on Thursday over Chapter 7! DR Quiz on Thursday, too....Week 23 this week!

In case you weren't aware, next week is Spring Break!!! There will be no school next week. We'll return on April 7th!
