Lunch: A microwave is available in the lunchroom for us, however, PLEASE go over with your child microwave safety at home! I will help if they need it, but the microwave is to be used to only warm/heat food.  DO NOT send in lunches that require more than 1 min. to cook.  We just simply don't have time. 

Third Graders should try to work in 15 minutes of reading every night. 

 Thursday will be the Kick-Off for our Fabulous Fall Fundraiser.    We will have an assembly in the afternoon to inform the children about this year's fundraiser.  Look for more info soon!  

Show and Tell went GrEaT on Friday!!!!!  It was very interesting and informative!!  Everyone seemed so comfortable in front of our class!!!  I could tell that many had 'practiced' at home!   Thank you, parents, for helping to make this a success!!!  I'm looking forward to this Friday's Show and Tell!
