Dear Parents,
Happy Birthday to Lucia on Friday!
Also Congratulations to Aya for being our MVP of the week. We enjoyed learning more about our special classmate when she shared her banner with us on Monday!
Red Ribbon Week was a huge success! We enjoyed celebrating the happiness that making healthy choices brings!
Thank you 4th Grade PTA for providing lunch for the CCE staff on Friday. It sure was delicious, and we truly appreciate your hospitality.
The library reading log, "Reading is Fairy Good for EveryGnome!" is due on Friday, November 9th. I am encouraging 100% participation! Congratulations to those who have already completed the program.
This first half of third grade is zooming by! This week promises to keep the busy feeling going with not only all the amazing things we are learning everyday in the classroom, but also we have the excitement of Halloween thrown in there as well. I hope you all have a fun and safe Halloween night and aren’t too tired on Thursday.
Enjoying your children,
Mrs. McDonald

ROBOLAB NEWS
Welcome to a new year of Robolab! This fall, 3rd graders will learn about potential and kinetic energy as we build and experiment with a hand generator and a solar-powered Ferris wheel. Parent volunteers help make Robolab even more fun for everyone. Come join your child and see what they are doing! You do not need to know anything about Legos or alternative energy; you only need to ready to encourage the children to solve problems and supervise them while they do experiments with what they build. Thank you for volunteering!

HOMEWORK
Planners are completed daily. Please check and initial your child’s planner nightly.
Students are required to read for a minimum of 20 minutes per night and record a quick response on their reading logs. Signed logs are DUE every Wednesday. Book Bucks are earned with every 100 minutes read. Students can “purchase” books from our “Book Buck Libraries” with 10 book bucks.
Nightly reading is crucial to your child's overall reading success. Reading should be an interactive process, so please remember to initial or sign your child's log before turning it in on Wednesday.
