Let's Sparkle in 3rd Grade!

May 11-15, 2026

 

The cookbook party will be Wednesday, May 13th. Each student will prepare their recipe at home and bring it to school on the 13th. We will eat this food throughout the day. Students will not need a lunch pail, unless they don't like the food in the cookbook. If you have any questions, please text me. We're looking forward to a fun day, eating lots of delicious food. 

Design a chef's hat to wear for the cookbook party. You may also wear an apron or chef's jacket. 

 3rd/4th grade class trip: Friday, May 15th. The plan is to go to Devil's Gulch and Palisades state park in Garretson, SD. Please apply sunscreen before coming to school. Wear a baseball cap and tennis shoes. 

If you have missed school, please return to school with all your homework, even if you haven't finished it all. You most likely will need to use the unfinished lessons in class when you return. Thanks. 

 

Orange Folder: Check if you have homework that is due tomorrow! 

This folder should be returned to school each day.

Please notify the office if your child has alternate plans at the end of the day. 
Please call the office if you have a child that is sick. 

We would like to have all the busing changes and attendance to go through the office and not the teachers. We often do not check our phones while teaching.
