Newsletter for 9/14

Third Grade Newsletter for the Week of September 14, 2009
From Mrs. Godwin

We are off to a great start! I can tell that everyone did a lot of reading and writing over the summer. We will have our first Spelling and Reading tests on Friday. The first 15 Spelling words are the most important. The Challenge words will be given as a bonus. Please read Officer Buckle and Gloria for the first test too.

Just some notes for the week:
*Wed., Sept. 16 – School Pictures
*Tues., Sept. 29 – Back to School Night
*Fri., Oct. 2 – Grandparents’ Day – Third Grade Grandparents are invited to the Third Grade room at 11:30 for a fun activity. They are also invited to the annual lunch from 12:00 to 1:00 in the cafeteria. Please join us if you can!
