Students should bring one healthy snack that is easy to eat. Please do not send in drink boxes. Students may use the water fountain. **We do have several food allergies in our classroom. Please refrain from sending in snacks with peanuts/tree nuts to ensure safety of all students. Thanks for your cooperation!!** LUNCH: 12:00-12:30 HOMEWORK: Homework Links (PDF versions) for Word Study are HERE. Each night (Monday-Thursday) (due the next morning) • Math Worksheet Given Monday (due Friday) • Language Arts Worksheet Nightly: • Read 25 minutes and record in monthly log (log should be turned in at the end of each month) *Remember to bring your Word Study bag to school and back home each day. *RECESS: Since 3rd grade is a transitional year from primary to intermediate grades, students should leave stuffed animals and toys at home. We have some great recess choices for the students here at school. Per school policy, personal electronic devices are not permitted in the classroom or at recess. WEEKLY V.I.P.: To get to know each other, each student in our class gets a whole week of being the V.I.P. (Very Important Person)! Click HERE for the VIP list/dates Weekly V.I.P. Events: Monday - Share your poster, then display it for the week. (If no school, Monday, share poster on Tuesday, items on Wednesday.) V.I.P. Poster Ideas: • Write your name large and decorate it. Design your poster on posterboard or a large piece of paper. Bring it in on the Monday of your V.I.P. week. You will have the chance to share your poster Monday morning at meeting time. Totebag Guidelines: When you bring home the V.I.P. totebag on Monday evening, fill it with items that are special to you. You might choose a vacation scrapbook or picture album. You might choose your favorite lego creation. You could share a piece of artwork you did, or a medal you earned in a sporting event. Have something too big to fit? Bring in a photo of it! :) You will have the chance to share and display your special items on Tuesday at meeting time. Your items can stay in class until Friday, when you can bring them back home in the V.I.P. totebag. Please remember to bring the empty totebag back the next Monday so the new V.I.P. can take it home to fill.

SCHOLASTIC NEWS: We will be using Scholastic News this year to read about current events. A subscription has been ordered for each child. The cost for each subscription is $4.25. Please make checks out to "Scholastic" and send them in with your child. I will collect them all and mail to Scholastic. Thanks for your support with this great resource for you children! BIRTHDAYS: This year, third graders will be celebrating birthdays without food. In place of bringing in food to share, students will be recognized by receiving a "Happy Birthday Homework Pass". The homework pass is good for one "free" night from homework and can be used once at any point in the year. Students with summer birthdays may choose a day in June to share a healthy treat OR they may do so on their "half birthday". There will be a sign up for class directory at Open House. I will send it home and this should be used for mailing birthday invitations outside of school. Thank you for your support! BOOK ORDERS: Our classroom is going green. Scholastic book orders can be completed online. Please follow the steps below. If you do prefer a traditional, paper flyer to order from, please send me an email and I'd be happy to send one home with your child. 1. LOG IN/SIGN UP at http://pcool.scholastic.com/ Our Class Activiation Code is: GNMGT 2. SELECT the books you'd like to order. Sometimes there are special online-only specials & discounts from Scholastic. 3. SUBMIT your order by the due date. Books will be delivered to our classroom like always. VOLUNTEERS: There will be many opportunities through out the year to volunteer during special 3rd grade events. I'd be more than happy to hear if you're interested in volunteering! Just drop me a note or email please. 3rd GRADE CURRICULUM: The curriculum guide for 3rd grade from the Guilderland CSD website. (*In previous years, this was printed and distributed at Open House.
