Here are some things that are happening--
Homework
There is no homework packet for this week, but students are expected to read and study their spelling words. They have their spelling list in their green spiral. There will be a homework packet this Friday, and we will have a spelling test next Friday (1-15-16).
Talent Show
The auditions for the talent show are Friday, January 15, right after school. If you student turned in the form, they will need to be ready next Friday.
Absences
If your child is absent, it will be unexcused until a note is sent in to school. The note should have the student's name and date(s) of the absence. The note can be in the form of an email, written note from parent/guardian, or a note from the doctor. If you send me a note or an email regarding an absence, I will forward it to the office.
Kids Art Contest
The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and Samsung Austin Semiconductor invite K-5 students in Texas to submit their artwork of how they, along with their friends and family, help keep the air and water clean, conserve water and energy, and reduce waste. One grand prize winner will receive a Samsung laptop, and 15 students will win a Samsung tablet. The teacher of the student who designs the overall best artwork will also be awarded a Samsung tablet. The contest begins January 4, 2016; entries must be postmarked on or before March 2, 2016.
Science Fair
The science fair is just around the corner (January 28). Click here for the packet for all the information you need. The packet must be submitted to the office by January 15. If you have questions, let me know. This is a great opportunity for students to get involved in science. Third graders are not required to do this, but when they are in fourth grade, they will be required to do this. This year is a great time to get started without the added pressure of being graded in class.
