Flashlight Reading

On Wednesday, October 30th, we are going to have a special reading day - Flashlight Reading!  The lights

will be off in the classroom and the skylights covered.  The kids will bring a pillow, a stuffed animal and a flashlight!  The morning will be full of comfy, fun reading!  

Change for Books

This year during the book fair, each class has a change jar in their classroom.  Kids can bring in any loose change which will be used to purchase books for our classroom.  You do NOT have to participate, only if you wish.  
(The teachers will also have our book wish lists posted as we have in the past.) 

Student Council

If your 3rd grader is interested in running for our Class Representative, the permission slip needs to be turned in by Monday. 

Diary of a Wimpy Kid - Preorder

The newest Diary of a Whimpy Kid is coming out on November 5th.  We have the opportunity to purchase the book before they go on sale to the general public.  The books are $8.49 + .51 for tax. Please have your money and order form to Mrs. Zemlicka on or before October 30th. 

Chalk on Monday

Mrs. Olson, our art teacher, is going to be using chalk in art on Monday.  Please do not wear any good clothes since it is a bit messy. 

Label hats, coats and boots

With the snow arriving, it reminds us that we need to be labeling all winter gear so that it can be returned to the proper owner if misplaced. 

Also, please let your kids know that we should not be sharing hats, scarves, or coats.  I do have these items in my room, if they are forgotten, and I wash them after each use.  Thanks.

Electronics Party!!

       The students have earned an electronics party for proper hallway and classroom behavior. Tomorrow (Tuesday) afternoon the students are allowed to bring in their personal electronic gaming devices to play.  

If you do not wish for the electronics to come to school, school ipads and computers will be available.  When we are not in the classroom, the room will be locked so their devices will be safe.  I cannot, however, guarantee from them getting damaged during their party.

Science Packets

I am sending home several science packets tonight.  Not all the pages are done and that is okay!  We just did not get to them or we did the work in a different place.  Many of the pages are just for exploration and our graded work was completed in a different form, so that is why they are not graded. Please don't send them back. Thanks!
