We made it through Thursday on our first full week back! Here are some updates from our classroom and reminders about upcoming events!
Volunteering: I had so many people sign up to volunteer on Back to School Night. Thank you! For those who said they could help out anywhere, I will be sending out a sign-up genius next week with the exact needs. It is mostly Homework Check-in, Reading Groups, and Cleaning. There is a little filing of math papers as well. I will also need a volunteer to give a small group a spelling test twice a week. I will e-mail if you gave me a specific job you wanted to volunteer for so we can figure out dates! Usually my volunteers start the last week of September or the beginning of October! Thanks again for all the offers of help! Field Trip Chaperones: The next training for field trip chaperones is on Tuesday, September 17th. If you cannot make it to that, you can arrange to meet with Mrs. Adams or myself to go through the training. Our field trip on October 4th is all on-campus and I already have 2 helpers signed up. I will put out the sign-up genius for the remaining field trips on September 17th at the training and online. Thank you! Guest Speakers: I could use more guest speakers about Roman legacies. Do you or someone you know have knowledge or work in the following categories? If so, please let me know!
Picture Day: Picture Day for third graders is Tuesday, September 17th. We will have the Picture Make-up day on Tuesday, October 1st. Jog-a-thon: Jog-a-thon is coming up quickly! On Thursday, September 26th during the school day we have our regular PTA Jogathon to raise money for classroom stipends. A new event this year is the "Parent Jog-a-thon" on the 26th at 5pm! Try to beat your child's number of laps! Please return Jog-a-thon pledge sheets by Monday, September 23rd. If you would like to volunteer for the Jog-a-thon, click here. Mad Tea Party: Third graders will be reading Alice in Wonderland in class as one of their Core Knowledge literature books. On October 30th at 2:45 in the cafeteria, we will have our Mad Tea Party! Students will have guidelines as to what costumes they can wear and they will put on a reader's theater for families to enjoy! Tea and treats will be served! We will also play some of the queen's croquet! Harvest Festival: Our Harvest Festival this year will be on Thursday, October 17th from 5:30-7:00pm. This is a fun, community-building event where teachers run booths and games for children to participate in. All families are invited! Save the date for the Viking Feast: Our Viking Feast will be Tuesday, November 26th at 2:45pm. Students will be putting on plays about the Viking Gods and will bring Viking inspired dishes for everyone to share! Thank you all for your support with the beginning of the school year! If you have specific concerns or questions, please e-mail me and we can find a time to meet. --Miss Devlin
