FYI: End of the year info

Dear Parents,

 Our classes are scheduled to take the math MAP test and the reading MAP test next week.  Study Island is a great resource to use at home to help your child review for these tests.

To celebrate the end of testing, we are planning to have a fiesta on Tuesday, May 12.  Look for a note in this week’s Friday folder indicating the item your child needs to bring for the fiesta.  The note says "next week" but the fiesta is on the 12th...the following week. (I did not want to run it again and waste the paper.) See the note to see if there are any items you wish to donate to the party.

Students are earning an ice cream sundae by learning all of their multiplication and division facts.  Please help your child study these facts at home. The goal is to learn each set of facts quickly and accurately.Two  students in our classroom have already earned their entire sundaes, and we are hoping more students will be able to do so next week! The ice cream sundae party is scheduled for Thursday, May 14.

Students will also sign yearbooks in the gym on May 14. Any child who ordered a yearbook will receive it on this day.  Students may bring money to purchase snacks, but please do not send more than $5.00.

All library books are due by Friday, May 8. The media center is collecting paperback books for our book swap scheduled for the week of May 11. For every two gently used paperback chapter books donated, a student will receive one book credit to shop at the swap. Only students who bring in books will be allowed to shop outside 3rd grade reading level.

Please make sure your cafeteria account is paid up and all pictures and/or money have been returned. We have to hold report cards for any students who owe money.

Field Day is just around the corner, so mark your calendar for Friday, May 15! Our theme this year is Fun in the Sun. Activities will be held on the OCES campus and the OCMS football field and are scheduled to take place from 9:00 am until 2:00 pm.

Our third grade awards ceremony will be held on Monday, May 18 at 9:30 in the cafeteria. You will receive an invitation in next week’s Friday folder if your child is receiving an award.

These dates are included in your May RAH calendar your child is bringing home today - it is orange.

Have a great weekend!
