Welcome to Summer!

 Dear 3rd Graders,

Wow, what an amazing year we've had together! You've worked hard, learned so much, and grown in so many ways. I’m so proud of each and every one of you.

As you get ready to move on to 4th grade, remember all the wonderful things you’ve accomplished this year—how you tackled challenges, showed kindness, and never gave up. You’ve shown what it means to be curious, creative, and brave.

Fourth grade will be full of new adventures, and I know you're ready for them! Keep asking questions, keep trying your best, and never stop believing in yourself. You've got this!

Have a fun and safe summer—you’ve earned it!

With lots of warm wishes,

Mrs. Nelson 

Summer "Learning Quest"

 We are excited to invite your child to participate in our summer learning “Quest”. There are different levels of achievement available to allow all students the opportunity to participate and receive recognition for their efforts. We hope you will make summer learning a priority.   

Week of May 19th

 Tie Dyed T-Shirts: On Friday, your child will bring home a wet tie dyed t-shirt in a ziplock baggie. We are asking that your child wear this shirt on field day. **I could use a couple volunteers to help bag the tie dyed shirts Friday as well.  

Here are the washing instructions:

Step 1: Rinse in warm water, then gradually cool water until rinse water begins to run clear. 

Step 2: Carefully remove rubber bands with scissors and unfold the fabric. 

Step 3: Wash in warm water with a mild detergent, rinse and dry.  You might want to wash with an old towel and nothing else.

Multiplication Ice Cream Party: The much anticipated event is finally here this Wednesday! If you have said that you are able to help, please meet in the cafeteria at 2:00. ***We still need volunteers if you are able to help tomorrow afternoon***
