Four Winds and Weather Structures

Summit Street School is collecting items for break boxes and our class was assigned crackers. If you would like to donate any crackers for break boxes you can send them in with your child next week and we have a collection box outside our classroom. 

Report cards came home today. Please look them over with your child, sign the envelope, and return the empty envelope on Monday.

We will be going to the Flynn Theatre on Wednesday December 13th. Please send your child with a lunch from home if they did not order a lunch from school. 

Holiday Luncheon will be Thursday December 14th from 11:00-11:30 for third grade. 

Holiday Sing Along will be Thursday December 21st at 1:30pm. 

We had Four Winds on Wednesday and learned all about trees and their cones. We went on a scavenger hunt for cones (only some are called pine cones) and then tried to sort them into different baskets. Thanks to Liam's mom and Sawyer's mom for helping us out!

Today we had Arts Integration with Mrs. Foley and Ms. Pero! We started working on our housing structures to withstand different natural hazards like blizzards, floods, hurricanes and more! We had a blast building with recyclable materials! We will be testing our structures on December 22nd from 9:30-10:15 if you would like to join us!
