The book fair is here!!!!  Our class went to the media center today to preview the wonderful selection at the book fair and even made a wish list.  Students can bring in their money over the next few days to purchase books during a convenient time in school.  We even have an entire 30 minute block of time Monday, from 1-1:30 where anyone from our class can go and purchase books.  If you want, you can even come to the school with your child while we are tracked out and visit the book fair to make a purchase.  Don't forget that Moonlight Reading is Thursday, February 7th, from 5pm - 7:30!!  There will be lots of fun activities for all ages and the book fair will again be open for buying!

Parents,
With the inclement weather we have been experiencing lately, our schedules have quickly changed.  Thank you all for being so understanding about the last minute early release on Friday, and therefore the cancelation of our field trip on 1/25.  All of our students got home safely and that is what matters most!  The 3rd grade team is working to get the trip to the Art Museum rescheduled as quickly as possible.  Once we have new confirmed dates for Tracks 1 & 2, we will notify you immediately.  There will be a NEW permission form sent home for the new dates once they are scheduled.

Also, Friday Folders went home TODAY, 1/28, since we had such a quick & unexpected dismissal on Friday.  Please look through the student work and return any forms etc... if there are envelopes in your child's Friday Folder.  Otherwise, please sign the back pink sheet for conduct & work habits and send back to school tomorrow. 

Thank you again for all your cooperation and hopefully a warmer week!

 
Don't forget that this Friday, January 25th is our class field trip to the NC Art Museum!  If you have not turned in your child's permission form or trip money, don't fret.  We will be continuing to accept all forms and money the rest of the week.  The final cost for both our trips this school year is $11.50.  The online OSP payment system is not working for 3rd grade currently, but we can accept cash or check.  Sorry for any inconvenience this has caused!  More information on our in school field trip with HighTouch/HighTech to come in March.

Please try to ensure that all students are on time this Friday for our trip to the museum.  We will be promptly leaving between 9:30-9:40am.  Students will leave & return to BRES via WCPSS school bus.  Students will be eating a delayed lunch at 12:45pm on Friday.  They will still be able to purchase a hot school lunch or bring their own as usual.
 
Happy New Year everyone!  I hope that this holiday season was filled with happiness, love, & good health!  The students have been back for their first week of school, which was very short, and seem to be transitioning well between vacation and back to the "grind."

Report cards went home on the last day of Quarter 2 on December 20th, so please return the WCPSS envelopes as soon as you can.  Also, if you would like to schedule a conference please contact me at [email protected].  If you checked the "conference" box on the report card envelope, I will contact you over the next few days to schedule a meeting.  Of course if you have any other questions or concerns about your child's performance contact me at any time and we can chat.

In the new quarter students will be learning about a variety of literature genres like mysteries, poetry, and biogoraphies.  We are also very excited to write our very own narrative mysteries as well!  In math we have some very large units and projects to work on dealing with area, perimeter, and fractions.  Social studies this quarter is very exciting too with our large Geography Unit.

Lastly, keep a look out for the Field Trip Letter that is being sent home today about our 2 upcoming field trips this year.  Can't wait!

HAPPY 2013 EVERYONE!
