Spirit Day and Back to School Night

Two quick reminders...

Our first Spirit Day is tomorrow, August 26. Students may wear green and gold colored clothing. Uniforms are not required, but this is not a dress down day. Students may not wear umbros, spandex, boxer or gym style shorts. Blue jean shorts and shorts sold by the Shorecrest Booster Club are allowed.  

Also, Thursday is Back to School Night. Please meet at 7:00 in the Janet Root Theater. Refreshments will be served in the breezeways following classroom visits. Be sure to bring your personal calendar to mark important dates and party sign-ups. I look forward to seeing you all there!

First Day of School

The first day of school went very smoothly. Since it was the first day and some students may have forgotten to take home their agenda, the homework for tonight is:

Read Chapters 1 and 2 in Be a Perfect Person in Just Three Days.

Get a Flood Book (book for silent reading in the classroom)

Wear a broccoli necklace

Sign and return page 3 of the Parent-Student Handbook

Meet the Teacher Day

Hello everyone!

I really enjoyed meeting you all this afternoon. I am looking forward to a great year with this class. I have spoken to some of the second grade teachers and they have had nothing but positive, glowing things to say about this group of students.  

Two dates that you may want to circle are Spirit Night on August 23rd (Sunday) and Back to School Night on August 27th (next Thursday).

See you tomorrow!

Welcome to 3rd Grade

Wednesday is the first day of school! I am looking forward to meeting you and your friends. We are going to have a great time in third grade.

I hope that you had a fun and relaxing summer break and are ready to get started on a great school year.

Be sure to bring a morning snack on Wednesday.
