Happy Friday! I have a few brief announcements to share. These next two weeks will be action-packed!
• Monday, June 4th is the Third Grade Concert. The show begins at 7:00 p.m. but students should arrive between 6:45 and 6:55. They will wait in the classroom and we will enter as a group. I will not be in the room to supervise until 6:45.
• Next week we are going on a field trip to the planetarium at USM. Because of the size of the planetarium, the third grade is going in two groups. Half of our class will go on Tuesday, chaperoned by Mrs. Spencer and Mrs. Colfer, and the other half will go on Wednesday with me and the other two third grade classes. See your child's permission slip (in today's Friday Folder) for the date they are attending the trip and, if applicable, their chaperone. Please let me know if you have questions about this.
• I would love some help with putting together the kids' portfolios in advance of our learning celebration next Friday. If you are available for an hour or two for photocopying, hole-punching, and/or helping students put papers in their 3-ring binders, please let me know!
• A reminder that our Learning Celebration will be on Friday, June 8th (next week!) from 7:45-8:45 a.m. Please bring a breakfast treat to share if you can, and just email to let me know what you will bring. Also, our well-received "Wax Museum" will return for an encore performance, so please make sure your child comes wearing his or her "famous person" get-up. We look forward to seeing you!
• The next two weeks will be exciting but BUSY! Please let me know in advance if your child will be out due to doctor's appointments or planned family absences. With so much going on in terms of assessments, end of year wrap up, etc., it is helpful to know when a child will be missing.
