Here's a look at our week:

We will have our class spelling bee on Monday, Dec. 16th. The top two spellers from each 3rd grade class will compete in the 3rd grade spelling bee in January. Parents of the winners will be notified this week.

There will be NO HOMEWORK this week! Students should continue to read at least 20 minutes each night. Be on the lookout for the December reading challenge coming home this week.

Don't forget, on Thursday and Friday, dismissal begins at 12:20. Please be sure your child knows how he or she is getting home. If there is a change in his or her regular transportation, please write a note for me.

In reading, we will be enjoying some holiday classics as well as some new holiday stories. In writing, we will finish our biographies and then write a fun, holiday story. We will also wrap up our unit on prefixes and suffixes.

Science Fair packets went home last Thursday. Projects are due in January. I would love to have several students participate in this event! Talk to your child and see if he or she is interested. Go to https://www.sciencebuddies.org/ for some project ideas. If you need another information packet, let me know!

The second quarter is wrapping up this week. When report cards are complete, they will be posted online. No paper copies will be coming home as they have in previous years. You will need to login to Parent Vue to access your child's report card. Here is the link to Parent Vue https://parentvue.cobbk12.org/ If you have not registered, you will need to come in to the office to get your account set up. It takes less than 5 minutes. Report cards will be posted January 10th.

Our holiday party is this Thursday. I wanted to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who signed up to bring in supplies! The party is going to be GREAT! Feel free to send in the supplies whenever you're ready. 

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season!
