Dear Parents,
Congratulations to Varun 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.
Happy Birthday to Manu on Saturday!
A BIG “thank you” to our amazing PTA for providing such a yummy Friday Feast. We appreciate your kindness.
Our annual Expo was a smashing success! Our profit was an astounding $1,737.97 . The Expo was so much fun, and it was exciting to see the children sell their fabulous products. Third graders learned about economics through this unit, and we can definitely see some future entrepreneurs. We truly appreciate the support you extended while helping your child make his/her products, and the time you took out of your busy schedules to bake. Of course, your purchases of fine merchandise were the reason we were able to surpass our goal. We know Austin Pets Alive will be thrilled with our donation. Thank you!
Gratefully,
Mrs. McDonald

ROBO LAB
It's time for Robolab! In the spring session, 3rd graders will explore the idea of self-driving cars. We'll build a Lego vehicle, learn the basics of Mindstorms programming, then program our cars to drive around "town" on their own.
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 programming; you only need to encourage and support them while they program and build. If you can't come for an entire time slot, that's fine! Just add a comment to your signup letting me know what times you will be there.
See the link below for more information, and I hope to see you in Robolab soon!

Dear Parents,
Congratulations to Ivor for being our marvelous MVP of the week! We enjoyed learning more about our special classmate when he shared his banner with us.
I hope you all had a chance to stop by the Multicultural Fair on Friday. I enjoyed hearing about all the different cultures we have right here in our classroom. We learned about yummy foods, clothing, and interesting ancestors.
On Wednesday, March 13th, third grade students will go on an art field trip to the Blanton and Umlauf art galleries. Please wear any CCE t-shirt, and send a labeled sack lunch, disposable drink, and snacks for your child. We plan to leave CCE around 9:15 and will be visiting the Blanton first. Thank you to those who have volunteered to be chaperones on this fun field trip.
Enjoying your children,
Mrs. McDonald
