​Dear Parents,

Congratulations to Cruz for being our marvelous MVP of the week. We enjoyed learning more about our special friend when he shared his banner with us on Monday.

The CCE Library and I thank you for your purchases at our Fall Book Fair. The proceeds always go back to our students in materials and guest author visits. Thank you for your generous support and all the books that you donated to our classroom library!

Also, thank you so much for all your donations for our Stone Soup. Our soup was a delicious treat and it all started with one stone.

What a pleasure it was to see so many parents at our Thanksgiving Luncheon on Wednesday. May you create many wonderful memories over the Thanksgiving break with your friends and family.  I am truly grateful to be a part of this amazing Canyon Creek community and being your child’s third grade teacher.

Have a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving!

Mrs. McDonald

CCE students enjoyed a moving and informative Veteran’s Day program.  Special thanks to Mrs. Martin, the 5th grade performers and our veterans, Mr. Alvarez, Mrs. Hall and Mr. Burke, for sharing their experiences serving our country.  

I would like to express my gratitude to those of you who have served or have a loved one serving in our military.  Your service and sacrifice is appreciated. Also, thank you for the donations to the PTA Turkey Project. I am so thankful to work at such a lovely and compassionate school.  It is wonderful to help those in need.  Our community is very blessed.

Gratefully,

Mrs. McDonald

Dear Parents,

Congratulations to Jaxon for being our MVP of the week. We enjoyed learning more about our special classmate when he shared his banner with us on Wednesday.

We are very excited about our field trip to see the performance of “Ramona Quimby” by the WWHS theater department on Tuesday, November 14th.  Please sign and return the permission slip and $3 admission fee as soon as possible.  We will be eating lunch when we arrive back at school, but just in case we are late for our regularly scheduled lunch, it’s a good idea for students to bring a lunch home that we can eat in our classrooms.

On Friday, November 17, our third graders will participate in a cross- cultural exploration of the classic story Stone Soup. We will be cooking and eating a batch of our own stone soup in class that day.  I will be sending a Sign-Up Genius this week if you would like to donate items for this activity. Please send your items in on Thursday, November 16. Thank you for your donations!

It's hard to believe that we are just weeks away from the Thanksgiving break!  I thank you in advance for the continued support on nightly homework as we are getting into the season of busy evenings.

Enjoying your children,

Mrs. McDonald
