Hello Everyone!
What a great year this has been! The children have grown so much physically and academically! Thank you all for being such supportive parents. Our year was a success due in large part to the partnership we formed early in the school year.
This will be my final blog for this school year. I wish you all the best of times this summer, and I look forward to seeing you all next school year! Before I go...a few final reminders...
If you have not yet turned in your child's PE uniform order for next year, please send that in as soon as possible.
Our class has invited parents to visit this Thursday at 8:15 to view the explorer projects, watch a couple reader's theater skits, and view the I-movies that the students created with Mrs. Baralt.
Spirit Day is this Friday.
There is no school on Monday and next Wednesday is a half-day of school.
The third grade year-end party will be held next Tuesday afternoon from 1:30-2:30.
Wishing you all a wonderful summer!

Hello Everyone!
We have a fun week planned! Wednesday is Splash Day! Please refer to the following note regarding this fun day.
We will be hosting the Lower Division Splash Day on Wednesday, May 18th, 2011. The event will take place during each grade’s normal PE period and will last approximately 30 min. Splash Day consists of a variety of safe and fun water games and toys. Activities are designed to soak, spray, and splash. Students will not be swimming or submerging themselves in water in any capacity. Participants are sure to enjoy the large inflatable water slide again this year. A dry area, “The Beach,” will be available to any students not wishing to get wet or participate in Splash Day. Equipment, games, activities and supervision will be present for those students playing on the Beach.
What to bring/wear:
• Bring appropriate swimwear to school to change into or wear swimwear to school under their school uniform. Please keep in mind each child must wear their regular school uniform at all times except during their PE period.
• Sunscreen and/or Hat
• Towel
Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
LD PE Team

Ext. 442
Also, we are going to the Tampa History Museum on Friday. Please remember to send in a sack lunch with your child unless you already indicated that your child will be getting a lunch from SAGE. It is helpful to put the lunches in a large ziploc bag with their name written on the outside.
This week we are taking a spelling test as well as our vocabulary quizzes on Friday before we leave for our field trip.
We are going to have a math chapter test this Thursday.
The students are continuing to work on on publishing another story, working on reader's theater, learning more about early exploration, as well as continuing to learn new math concepts.
How is the explorer project coming along? Please remember that they are due next Wednesday, May 25. We will begin presenting them on Thursday. I anticipate that they will take at least two days to present.
As you may have heard...my last day will be Thursday, May 26. I am having surgery on the 27th, and will be recovering for a couple weeks following. If I could have scheduled the surgery later, I would have. Please know that your children will be in very good hands those final few school days.
Wishing you all a fabulous week!

May 2nd
Can you believe it's May already? This time of year there is so much still left to do, and sometimes summer fever starts to set in. Please know that we still have much to learn and do! ERB testing started today. The children really need to focus and try their best. We begin testing by 8:20 in the morning and will usually finish before 10:30. They are given a break between tests. Ask them how they think the first day went!
Due to the testing, the homework this week will be very light. I am assigning about half what I normally would. There are no new vocabulary words this week and also no spelling test. I will also send information home tomorrow about an Explorer Project that will be due on May 25th. This project will primarily be done at home, and I will give less homework during the following weeks to allow them time to work on this important and meaningful project. If you have questions about it after seeing the requirements, please do not hesitate to contact me.
School News:
The last day for book checkout is May 10th. All library books are due back by May 11th.
Splash Day will take place on May 18th with a rain make up date of May 25th.
Spirit Day is on Friday, May 27th.
I hope you all have a wonderful week!
