We're excited about our field trip on Wednesday! Third graders have been asked to wear red T-shirts that day, if they have them. The school cafeteria can provide a sack lunch, at your child's usual cost, for anyone interested. Please send a message in the assignment book about your preference for that day's lunch so we have a number to give to the cooks. Please let us know by Monday:)
Word-of-the-week for May 12: melancholy (adj. in PTS dictionary) Please practice reading the word and definition.
The Nebraska Reading/Writing Standards and the Nebraska Mathematics Standards Suggested Parent Activities pages were sent home with 3rd graders on Wednesday, May 7th. These are in preparation for 4th grade assessments.
