Third Grade

It's December already!   We have just completed our 1st Trimester of the year, completed our Parent/Teacher Conferences and held our Award Ceremony this morning!    Time is flying by.

We are beginning work with multiplication in the 3rd Grade.   A little intimidating for the children but they will soon be comfortable with it. The next few tutoring sessions (Wednesdays from 3:00 - 3:30) will be dedicated to better understanding multiplication and  how it works.   Please encourage your child to stay for these tutoring sessions.   It costs nothing and your child can only benefit by attending.

Wednesay, Dec. 11th will be our reconciliation day.   All students who have made their 1st Reconciliation will go to confession with their classes.   This is an important day since we are preparing for Christ's birth by cleansing our souls.   Pray for our students on this important day.

We exchanged our "Secret Santa" names today in class.   The theme this year is "Secret Santa Book Exchange".   The idea is to gift something that will help the students rather than fill them with more candy, goodies and little toys.   Please purchase a chapter book and keep $10 as your maximum  price.   I'm not saying you can't add a little something (sucker, candy cane, etc.) to the gift, but please keep the book as the main gift.   Bring your gifts wrapped and labeled for the recipient on December 29th - our last day (1/2 day) before the holiday.

December 19th is a minimum day with a lot going on.   Santa Claus will be at our school that day, we will have our Christmas party and also our gift exchange.   Please be sure to pick up your child at 12:00 noon.   Administration and teachers will not be on campus after that as wee will be at our Christmas Lunch.

I will be praying for all of you and your families to have a safe and joyful Christmas.   We will be back together on Monday, January 6, 2020!
