This is the weeks agenda: Monday- Sports Day Tuesday- Superhero or character Day Wednesday- Twin /Triplet Day Thursday- Decades Day – (50-90’s styles) Friday- CCA Apparel Day or CCA colors (Blue and white) HAVE FUN PLANNING THE WEEK. Spirit Week will end with the grand finale of our 1st ever Homecoming Event on Friday. Activities will begin at 5pm. See Friday fun facts for details of these activities. We will see our very first king and queen crowned, watch the high school teams play their games against Fredrick, participate in halftime games, drawings, and end the evening with a movie. Come join us for all or some of the evening. It will be a blast! We will be celebrating the achievements of the third grade for the first half of the year on Friday right after sing time around 8:25ish. We would love for family to join us as we celebrate the students’ hard work with awards, donuts, and juice. This will be approximately a half an hour. The class will be starting to use cursive writing in all subject areas at a slow rate. The spelling test this week will be written in BOTH print and cursive. We will do this 3 weeks. I will be grading only the print and looking at the cursive and noting any issues in the form of their letters, so when they are writing only in cursive they will be ready after working on their problem areas. Encourage them as I will too, to take care in every letter. Keep up the great writing. We will be having a Valentine’s Day party on Feb. 13th. The class has option of giving valentines to their classmates if they would like. In blue folders is a class list for help with valentines. I have asked for parent help with some snacks. Thanks in advance.
