    Hello room 13 families,

    We had an amazing turn-out at Open House! Thank you to all who were able to attend. The kids were excited to show off all of their hard work. We'll begin sending home all that work this week and next!

    We are so proud of our student representatives who came to the FSD Fest on Saturday to showcase our "Soles 4 Souls" Service Project: Zoey, Matthew, Calvin, Emerson, Jack, Johann, and Jett! See some pictures of our FSD Fest booth and other recent classroom activities HERE.

    Please send in empty toilet paper and paper towel rolls this week. We are collecting them for a fun STEM project we'll do on the last day of school. Thank you!

    On Monday, 5/19, to celebrate the end of state testing and to reward the kids for all of their hard work, we will have a school-wide Bubble Party! A flyer is attached to this week's email. Our class will go out to enjoy some bubble fun at 12:45 PM. If you have an extra bubble solution at home you'd be willing to donate, we'll happily accept it! Thank you!

    We will have a dress rehearsal for our class play THIS WEDNESDAY, 5/21 at 9:00 AM in our classroom. We will perform in costume. The kids should bring/wear whatever clothing/supplies they need to supplement their costume that day. We will be practicing our performance for Mrs. Guerrero and Mrs. LaFont's classes!

    Beginning Wednesday, 5/21, the kids will keep their iPads in class. All devices, charging cords, and bricks will be collected this Friday, 5/23. Please send in your child's original charging cord and brick that was sent home at the beginning of the year with your child on Wednesday. If charging cords/bricks have been lost, they must be replaced with Apple products (school/district policy). Thank you!

    Our Third Grade Awards Assembly is THIS THURSDAY, May 22, from 1:30-2:25 in the MPR. All students will be receiving an award. Please allow extra time for parking and traffic.

    The kids have filled up their Duck Pond and are deserving of an award! We will be watching "The Wizard of Oz" movie in class this week. Please let us know if you don't want your child to watch the film, and we will make other arrangements. (The flying monkeys used to scare us when we were little!)

    Please mark your calendars for Tuesday, May 27 to come see our class play "Munchkin Mediation: Conflict Resolution in Oz." The play will be held in our classroom and will begin promptly at 10:30 AM. Visitors must stop by the office to sign in and get a visitor sticker. PLEASE allow yourself extra time for traffic, parking, and signing in at the office.

    Next Wednesday, 5/28 will be our 3rd Grade Field Day. Our amazing room parents are organizing fun games for the kids to play outside, followed by a pizza lunch in class at 11:30. Watch for an email with more information coming soon. The kids will need to dress comfortably for outdoor play that day. Hats and sunscreen are recommended!

    The last day of school is Friday, May 30.  All students will be dismissed at 11:30 AM.  Report cards will go home that day.
