To start with, there are a few important events to make sure you all know about for this week. First, starting on Monday there will be a Book Fair in the library for the week. Then on Wednesday, there will be the Student of the Month assembly at 8:30am. In addition that day, I hope you got my note that went home last Thursday explaining that the students can bring a costume for Halloween. When we come back in from recess after lunch on Wednesday they can participate in the hallway Halloween parade at 2:00pm. Our class party should start by 2:15pm after the parade. There will be no G.A.P. after school that day, and I will not be sending homework that night either. Finally, there will be the Trick or Treat Street at the school from 5pm to 7pm.
Last week was the start of the new S.T.A.R.S. pod rotation, and I think all of the students enjoyed their new choices. This quarter, I have a drama group and there are six third graders participating. On Thursday, we began making prompts for a quick presentation of Where the Wild Things Are. This Friday, we will be using the Makerspace room to record and edit their first presentation.
Each week, on Tuesday and Friday our class joins the fifth and fourth grades for P.E. in the gym. With 45 students together, we have been coming up with some active games for the group and they really have been cooperating well together.
Have an awesome week! I know we will.
Kind Regards,
Julie Brown
