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

2019 CCE ECONOMICS FAIR
Third grade students are learning about the Free Enterprise System, financial responsibility and philanthropy. Students brought home a flier with details regarding this unit and responsibilities in their Tuesday’ folder.
Remember, a prototype and budget is due by March 11th and the remainder of the items are due March 26th. The students are working cooperatively in "companies" to create advertisements, slogans, and commercials. The prototypes brought in are being shown in the commercials. Thank you so much for all your help and support with this project! We know you will enjoy coming to the CCE Economic Expo on March 28th at 2:55 p.m.

STAAR READY RESULTS
Results will be in this week’s Tuesday Folder! I was very pleased with the results. Pre-testing at midyear provides so much information to prepare students for success in May!
HOMEWORK
Planners are completed daily. Please check and initial your child’s planner nightly.
