Grandparents- Ice Cream and Book fair social will be Tuesday, September 15, from 5:30-7:30 pm. This is a great opportunity for grandparents to see their grandchild’s classroom and meet his/her teacher. They can also go to the book fair and enjoy an ice cream sundae. Also, I have purchased Scholastic News for our class. This is a social studies/science magazine that is not only interesting but educational. If you would like to help defer the cost of the yearly subscription, it is $4.75 per student. Each year the grade-levels donate a basket for auction at the Carnival. Third grade’s theme is ‘A night at home’. If you are able we would appreciate donations for the basket such as snacks, sodas, popcorn, dvds, card games, etc. All proceeds go to the PTA.
